Recipe Serves: 6

Recipes Ingredients:

6 c Water
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
2 ts Salt
1 c Barley
2 lb Boneless lamb, cut into
2 tb Olive oil
Serving chunks

Recipe Instructions:

1>. Place the water, salt, Lamb and Garlic in a 4-quart heavy, covered saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn to a simmer, cover and cook for 2 hours. 2>. Remove all from the pot, reserving the broth. Remove the fat from the broth and add enough water to make six cups. 3>. Place the barley in a Grain grinder and grind very coarsley. You want something like groats or bulgar wheat in terms of texture. 4>. Stir the olive oil into the barley groats and place in the pan. Return the Meat and broth to the pan and bring to a light boil. 5>. Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes or until the barley is soft and tasty and the liquid is absorbed. 6>. Serve with crusty Italian Bread or with pita bread. ~ Jeff Smith "The Frugal Gourmet"
