Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

In the 5 Qt. Gourmet Wok, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat and add shallots. Saute' until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, herbs and barley and saute' a minute more. Then add wine, 1 cup of stock and salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer and stir occasionally until the barley has absorbed most of the liquid. Add another cup* of stock, and let absorb. Repeat with remaining stock and when last cup* has been added, add mushrooms and allow to cook until they are tender. Add kale and cook until wilted and bright green.
