Recipe:
On a cold, rainy day such as this, a nice warm meal was needed. We had picked up some barley at the store, so I made it into a baked vegetable dish with barley.

Vegetarian Barley Casserole Recipe - Healthy Vegetarian Recipes On Video
Recipe:
This vegetarian barley casserole recipe came about because of the lack of a stove in the hostel Phil and I are staying at in Florence, Italy. With no heat in our room, we needed something hot for dinner and although an oven takes longer it can make for some fantastic healthy vegetarian recipes. I put together this dish by starting with some barley, an onion and some gorgeous Italian tomatoes. Slow roasting the barley makes it so soft, and it absorbs the wonderful flavor of the Italian herbs and Tuscan vegetables. My special addition was a flavorful balsamic vinegar that brought everything together - you can't leave it out!

VEGETABLE STEW (with Pearl Barley) **vegetarian**
RECIPE & VIDEO:
*************
RECIPE
Serves 4
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 eggplant, diced in bite size (5cm)
1 brown onion, diced
2 large carrots, diced
1 cup pearl bailey
6 cups vegetable stock
1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
2 large broccoli heads, cut into florets
150g green beans, trimmed and cut into bite size
Salt & pepper
1/2 cup pesto
Sprinkle a generous amount of salt on the eggplant. Place the eggplant in a colander and allow bitter juices to form. After 10-15mins rinse under cold water.
I cooked my brocolli in the microwave for approx 6-7mins but if you wish you can add it to the stew at the beginning of the cooking.
Heat olive oil in deep casserole dish. Add onion and stir until just soft. Add eggplant, carrots , beans and cauliflower. Add pearl barley and combine. Add stock (which should cover to the top of the vegetables)
Add salt and pepper for seasoning. Add pesto and mix well. Bring to boil and simmer for 40mins. Add cooked broccoli (if you have chose to cook it in the micro otherwise add it with the rest of the vegetables in the pot) and simmer for a further 5mins. Remove from heat. Ready to serve.
I served it with steak but can be served perfectly on its own.

2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 ribs celery, diced
2 medium-sized carrots, diced
1/2 zucchini (optional)
1-2 potatoes (optional)
any other vegetables desired, about 1/2 cup each
6-8 cups water or vegetable broth (or bouillon)
1 cup pearled barley, uncooked
1 can beans (or 2 cups cooked)
1/2 - 1 cup crushed tomatoes
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme

Method
In a large soup pot, saute the onions, and garlic in water for about 5 minutes, then add the celery, carrots and any other vegetables in water for another 5 minutes.
Add vegetable broth or water and all other remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Once your soup is simmering, reduce the heat to medium low and cover your pot.
Allow to simmer for at least thirty minutes and up to one hour, stirring occasionally, until barley is cooked.
