sit them over night, boil them next morning

(always rinse out bean and put fresh water next morning before

boiling!)

Cook them with ¼ cup of barley till tender.

Then add a whole chopped onion,

presses two garlic cloves saute in a Tsp. of olive oil.

add a tsp of salt, dash or fresh of oregano, bazil, thyme

2 chopped celery stalks, (optional, small chopped pumkin 8 one inch

pieces)

1 large tomato slices into one inch pieces,
