Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/2 c Chopped onions
1/2 c Chopped sweet green peppers
1 Garlic clove; minced
1 cn Tomatoes; undrained/in chunk
16 oz. can
1/2 ts Dried oregano
1/2 ts Dried basil
2 c Water
5 1/4 oz Barley; 3/4 cup

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.
