  • In a sauce pan combine water and salt and bring it to a boil. Add rinsed barley in it and cook in a medium-low flame until tender and chewy and water is absorbed. Keep it aside.
  • In another saucepan heat oil and add cranberries.
  • Immediately add salt, sugar and oregano and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Once cranberries start to release their juice, add rest of the ingredients and cook for 5-7 minutes. Turn off the flame and let it cool.
