      Yield: 4 servings 
  
    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.
