"This is from Canadian chef Ricardo - it can easily be made vegetarian with veggies broth or into a whole meal by adding shrimp in at the end with the tomatoes and peas. Even my baby girl likes it!"

  1. We love barley and this was one of the best barley recipes I have tried. I will make this again and again. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
     
  2. Made this delicious stew tonight for dinner and it is wonderfully delicious and hearty. I sent DH to the grocery for me and instead of pearl barley, he came back with regular barley. It was still excellent despite that one change. I'll definitely be making this again -- it is so easy and healthy. Made for ZWT9-N. Africa - Morocco & Tunisia.
     
  3. Easy to put together and packed with flavor...made for ZWT #9, this dish is a keeper!

<p>Picture taken just for Zaar - mmmm milkshake...</p> <p>I'm a brand new single mommy to my tiny perfect human, so thank you to everyone who takes the time to make and review my recipes - I try to send a zmail to each of you, but baby girl has a different idea.</p> <p>I'm a good ol' prairie girl from Canada with one side of the family being Ukrainian/Slovakian and the other side is German/Russian. In other words, when we cook we take carbs, cover them in more carbs, fry'em and serve it smothered in onions and cream.&nbsp;<br />No pro chefs in my family, just grandmas and aunts and cousins and a mom that had me pinching perogies and stuffing strudel before I could form a complete sentence. <br />The most dreaded / laughed at phrase I say is, So last night, I invented this thing for supper... - I would probably publish more recipes if I actually remembered everything I put in or had an idea of how much I added!!</p>
