SUPER EASY! Recipe for 4-quart pot.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups pearl barley
- 1 lb mushrooms, sliced , whichever type you prefer
- 1 leek (both green and white), cut and thoroughly washed
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1-2 T Toasted Sesame Oil
If you are making any blanched veggies, start by putting water in the pot, adding salt, bringing to a boil, and blanching the veggies. That adds nice flavor, no matter what type of vegetable. If not, start from:
- Dump everything in the pot
- Add water to the very top
- Add some black pepper, and salt if water is not already salted
- Cook as you normally would cholent.
