1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried thyme |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |

1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 (15 ounce) cans black-eyed peas, rinsed |
Directions:

2. Add onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
4. Add broth, barley, thyme, lemon juice, crushed red pepper, and salt; bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the barley is done, 15 to 20 minutes.
