recipe - pork with creamy barley and peas

We really love this recipe. It is very different and a nice change from the ordinary. 

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons light ranch salad dressing

4 boneless pork chops

1 cup quick cook barley 

1 cup frozen peas

1/4 t. salt

1/4 t. black pepper

1/8 t. cayenne pepper

Place 1/4 cup dressing and pork in a resealable bag. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. 

Remove pork from bag and discard marinade. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook pork chops 7 minutes, then turn and cook an additional 7 minutes or until internal temp. registers 150 degrees. 

Meanwhile, bring 3 cups water to boil in a medium size saucepan. Stir in barley, reduce heat to medium and cook for 8 minutes. Add peas and continue to cook for 2 minutes, then drain and return to pot. Stir in remaining 3 tablespoons ranch dressing, salt, pepper and cayenne. Serve with pork.
