1/2   c            Chopped onions
     1/2   c            Chopped sweet green peppers
   1                    Garlic clove -- minced
   1       cn           Tomatoes -- undrained/in chunk
                        16 oz. can
     1/2   ts           Dried oregano
     1/2   ts           Dried basil
   2       c            Water
   5 1/4   oz           Barley -- 3/4 cup
  A tasty side dish for almost any entree, this filling
  grain also reheats nicely in the microwave. In a
  medium saucepan over medium heat cook onions, green
  pepper, and garlic until lightly browned. Add small
  amounts of water if necessary to prevent drying. Add
  tomatoes spices and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in
  barley, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 50
  minutes until barley is tender and water is absorbed.
  Stir occasionally while cooking and add more water if
  necessary. Note: the original recipe called to saute
  the 1st three ingredients in olive oil(1T+1t) but I
  chose to eliminate it and eliminate almost 5 gms fat
  per serving.
