Pearl Barley: Combine 1 cup barley with 2 1/2 cups water or broth in a small pot and bring to a rolling boil. (There is no need to soak barley, pearled or not.) Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until tender (about 40 or 50 minutes).
Add carrots, fennel seeds and oregano; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, broth, barley, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally, until the barley is tender, about 40 minutes.

Barley is a high carb grain that does not fall on the approved foods list for Keto and therefore should be avoided. Strict low carb diets like Keto advise followers to aim for around 20 grams of carbs per day.
