"Vegetarian dish with earthy vegetables with quinoa and barley. This started as a stew and cooked a little too long causing the water to evaporate. It is quick and simple, cheap to make and delicious."

directions

Put Vegetable stock and water into 8qt pot and start heating on high.
Prepare Quina and Barley as needed, add to pot and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and cover for 4-5 minutes.
While waiting, prep other ingredients adding them to the pot in the order of Potatoes/Carrots/Parsnip then Cabbage then Onions/Leek. This should help ensure they finish relatively the same time.
Make certain there is enough liquid in the pot at this time such that vegetables are covered.
Reduce heat and cook covered for roughly 20-25 minutes stirring periodically until vegetables are soft and there is very little liquid left.

Bland as cardboard...would be much better if some seasonings were part of the recipe. I'm new at this kind of stuff, and after botching a couple of things by "being creative", I pretty much stick with the recipe!<br/><br/>Any suggestions? My wife and son are going to see what they can do with it.

I am AngelaStill's husband. If I were on the show "Can't Cook, Won't Cook", I would be in the "Won't Cook" section. When I'm in the mood, I love cooking. I love coming up with new recipe ideas. I mostly experiment with sauces for meats. I would cook more but with lots of work at college, it interferes, especially with my rest time :-). I am a college student, 3rd/5 years. I am studying Computer Engineering Technology, which means all I can cook is a cup of joe, lol. I normally get A's and B's in my classes, but mostly because I push myself too hard. I love programming computers and microcomputers. I am also an amateur photographer, some day I'll put together a site of my stuff. I am a sci-fi junkie. Well... ok I don't read /all/ sci-fi books, mostly P.K. Dick, Ray Bradbury, and similar authors. I also read some fantasy, but I'm not into some of trash fantasy that is out there. I also like to write, as much as I hate to write. I was inspired by nanowrimo and finished 5000 words (out of 50000). I am working on a novel and ocassionally write poetry, which people seem to like for whatever reason i don't know, i personally think its trash.
