Method

Prepare the vegetables: Finely chop the onion and the carrot.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, sprinkle with salt, then sauté until the onion begins to soften, about 5 min.
Add the barley, then cook 3 min with constant stirring. Pour in the broth and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to 'low', stir once, add the bay leaf and cover. Cook until the barley just starts to become tender, about 25 min. Add the carrot and peas, cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 6-7 min.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir once, cover and let stand 10 min. Discard the bay leaf, adjust the seasoning and serve.
