Black Beans and Barley

[Guest guest]

I make black beans and barley because my daughter doesn't eat rice.

 

1 1/4 cups dry barely

2 cups liquid. I used 1 cup veg broth and 1 cup water

1 clove chopped garlic or more to taste

chopped onion

a little bit of chopped green pepper

chile powder

cumin powder

pinch salt

1 can black beans drained.

salsa

Hot sauce optional

Cook the barley in the cups liquid until softened 20-25 minutes

saute onions until clear add green pepper and garlic saute until softened.

add chile powder and cumin and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat onions. Add

the barley stir to combine add the drained black beans, add some salsa.

 

Taste and adjust seasonings.

 

I used a 19 oz can of beans my daughter thought we should have used the

larger can.

 

Eat and enjoy.
