Bon app茅tit
Have you ever used barley as a side dish? It has a great 'swell' potential, in that it triples (al dente) or quadruples in size, and it really tastes great cooked with chicken or fish stock, garlic, parsley, and some oil or butter. Also, Barley is a great, easily digestible, and nutritious grain, that doesn't taste like cardboard! =D


If you decide to dress the showcase -food choice in a simple oil based sauce, ie: cajun butter, basil oil, etc, the barley doesn't just soak it all up, but makes a lovely 'carrier' for the flavour.


Combine them all cold, with a fav. vinagreitte or aoili and you've got a great alternative to Tabbouleh Salad.
veggie cabobs.....mushrooms, onions, pineapple chunks, cherry tomatoes, squash, then broil them.
