Hearty Vegetable and Barley Stew

Heat stockpot and add oil, onion and garlic. Sauté 3-5 minutes until the onions are caramelized and turn transparent. Add parsnips, carrots, mushrooms and broccoli. Toss to coat with oil and sauté a few minutes longer. Add the herbs and finally the squash. Stir to coat all the vegetables with the oil and herbs. Add the water, cooked pearl barley, salt, pepper, and tamari. Simmer 30 minutes uncovered or partially covered. Serve warm with flatbread or whole grain bread for a delicious supper.

Protein Options:

Any of the following choices may be added during the cooking process or served at the table as a garnish.

 

2 cups cubed tofu

1 cup sliced seitan

2 cups cooked cubed chicken

2 cups shredded beef

 

Tip: Use a rice steamer to cook the pearl barley while you are chopping the vegetables. It cooks much faster than the stovetop and it will be done when you need it!
