A tasty side dish for almost any entree, this filling grain also
reheats nicely in the microwave.
In a medium saucepan over medium
heat cook onions, green pepper, and garlic until lightly browned.
Add small amounts of water if necessary to prevent drying.
Add
tomatoes spices and water.
Bring to a boil.
Stir in barley, reduce
heat to low, cover and simmer 50 minutes until barley is tender and
water is absorbed.
Stir occasionally while cooking and add more
water if necessary.
Note: the original recipe called to saute the
1st three ingredients in olive oil(1T+1t) but I chose to eliminate
it and eliminate almost 5 gms fat per serving.
