Cherry Barley Pilaf Recipe | Busch’s Fresh Food Market Brighton

July 24, 2017 By Shelley Zurek 103 Comments

Introducing Busch’s Food Market Brighton Michigan


Busch's Fresh Food Market Brighton Michigan

I was asked by Busch’s Fresh Food Market Brighton to attend their grand opening of their Brighton, Michigan location. I got some great local and organic ingredients to make the Cherry Barley Pilaf Recipe at the end of this post.

Wow! At the store, I was impressed with what I saw. Freshness abounded everywhere I looked.

From the moment you walk in the door, you see fresh local fruits and veggies.

Walt and I felt we were in an old time grocery store with the selection of a modern day supermarket.

I have never been in a store where each and every item is “Choice”.

I loved the big bulk section. They even had variations of the same thing (3 kinds of quinoa, etc).

Busch’s Fresh Food Market Brighton carries flavored oils and vinegars that you can bottle fresh!

The meat and seafood counter seemed to go on forever with wonderful selections and cuts. You can also get specific cuts and weights of meat cut to order by their friendly meat staff and butchers. Very rare these days to get such personal service!

Now don’t think for one minute because Busch’s Fresh Food Market Brighton carries so many natural, organic, fresh, specialty foods that they don’t have sales. THEY DO! Look at these all natural baby back ribs that were $1.99/pound (regularly $4.99/pound)! We got two huge meaty racks of ribs for $12. Guess what we’re having for dinner soon?

What other features and highlights can I tell you about the store?

  • Instore Starbucks
  • Instore Sushi counter and chef
  • Traditional and self checkouts
  • Large selection of craft beers
  • Samples. Lots of samples!

This Cherry Barley Pilaf takes a traditional dish to a whole new healthy level with multiple grains and dried fruits. A Pilaf is a dish in which rice is cooked in a seasoned broth with added spices, vegetables and whatever strikes your fancy. Can be easily doubled. Lasts all week in the fridge.
Author: Shelley Zurek
Recipe type: Side Dish
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons oil (canola or avocado)

  • ¼ cup uncooked bulgur
  • ½ cup salted dry roasted sunflower seeds

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  2. Add celery, cook on medium 4 minutes or until tender. Stir often.
  3. Add water, chicken broth, barley, and rice blend to celery, bring mixture to a boil.
