this didn't turn out the way i expected it to. the barley was hardly noticeable and the flavors just didn't blend right for me. i think it would have been better with a spoonful or 2 of brown sugar in the kraut mix, and maybe if the chops were browned first they would have been tender and not as tough as they turned out.
