I’d be lying if I said I had high expectations for dinner tonight. I was hoping for an empty pantry miracle and the fact that I was able to create something edible, well I’ll consider that the miracle.
Hulled barley leftover from my fourth blog post ever? Ok!
Once I passed the shock that a. the barley was still good and b. I could pinpoint the exact moment I last used it, I dumped a couple cans of beans, oil and vinegar, and some spices in a cast iron pot and then gracefully spilled the spices all over the floor. Oops!
This recipe wasn’t tasty enough to share. But! I do think the barley and bean combo was delish and would love to hear your suggestions on what ingredients I could have added to make it a share worthy dish.
1. homemade barbeque sauce!
2. some sort of chutney
3. i just realized that i don’t think i’ve ever had barley, and therefore, these suggestions may be null and void 😉

Ohhh chutney! Why didn’t I think of that?? 🙂
Dress it just like a pasta salad with all the veggies diced. Or, cook it in beef broth, seasoned with garlic and onion. When it’s almost done throw in some fresh sliced mushroom and a splash of Marsala, yummy!
