Bountiful Barley
"As a diabetic, I find that Barley really keeps my blood sugar level. I came up with this recipe to use as a side dish to replace rice. This side dish works really well with beef. Try it with a grilled steak that has been marinated in olive oil, garlic and rosemary or the Ann Lander's Meatloaf recipe that's posted in Recipezaar."

Wow! This was great! I substituted 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for 1 tablespoon of butter and I baked it for 1 hour with the lid ON. -
Interesting. I'm looking up barley recipes, including barley tea because, having been recently diagnosed as diabetic,, it seemed that barley tea was having a good effect on my sugar level.. and here I've found another diabetic that says the same thing. Nice basic recipe. I'm going to try the soy sauce substitution, too. -
this makes a nice base casserole. it did cook for 20 minutes longer because there was alot of liquid left, so i covered it. i also divided it, after it was cooked. i kept half as is. in the other half i added sauteed mushrooms and corn, cayenne and hot sauce for the more adventurous diners. we all enjoyed it

<img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> I live on the edge of the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex. The town I am in has less than 6,000 residents yet I am only a 20 minute drive from Whole Foods and Central Market. We also have an abundance of Indo-European and Oriental stores. All the great places to explore for all the unusual foods you see on cooking shows.
Central Market even has "famous" chefs giving cooking classes. I plan to take the Sushi making classes Spring 2003.
The only thing we need to make this area perfect is for Katz Deli from Houston to open a place right around the corner from me, their chopped liver is to die for. On the same corner a great Mystery book store like the Murder by the Book they have in Houston.
Then if the local restaurants would learn how to cook better I would be in Seventh Heaven. Gee, am I opinionated or what!
I collect cook books, love to read, and I am planning on teaching myself how to sew in 2003.
