Directions
Barley Morocco, This colorful combination of vegetables, garbanzo beans and steamed barley is sure to please Serve with warm pita bread and melon wedges sprinkled with chopped fresh mint , I really liked the idea of this recipe, but when I made the sauce initially I felt like the flavors were off I’m not going to rate it because I ended up changing it quite a bit I doubled the spices as other reviewers suggested, but then the ginger was too strong So I added a splash of worcestershire, another cup of vegetable broth and another can of chickpeas After simmering the flavor was better I still think it’s missing something Maybe garam masala or diced tomatoes? I don’t know I love barley and this is a really great base though, so I’m going to experiment next time , We’re trying to eat vegetarian more often, so I’m on the lookout for satisfying vegetarian dishes for a spouse who likes his veggies but can be a tad picky about them as the sole source of nutrition He liked this! I did substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth (easier to find in our small town), and used a bit more lemon than called for — half a lemon in the cooking, the rest to squeeze atop when served Might want to add a tad more coriander and ginger next time around — 1/4 *heaping* teaspoon of cayenne was plenty for this particular dish, by our lights Thanks for posting!
