Good afternoon!
This is a recipe I got from an ex co-worker (when I was still gainfully employed). He used to cook for an NHRA team now and then.
3 tbs butter or olive oil
1 pkg baby carrots (I use actual carrots)
3 stalks celery
1 medium onion
1 can diced tomatoes (un-drained)
3 cloves chopped garlic
2 tsp thyme
2 bay leaves
Beef stock (I use broth)
1 1/2 cup Barley
1# smoked sausage (I used my own Anduille)

Saute the vegetables until the onion is a bit translusent. img_saute.jpg
Brown the sausage (I used an air fryer). img_brownedsausage.jpg

Add the sausage, garlic, tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves. Top to cover with the broth and bring to a boil.

Add the Barley, reduce heat and simmer until the Barley puffs up. You'll have to add more liquid at some point because the barley soaks it up. I used broth. img_donestew.jpg
When the carrots are soft it's done.

This is a full meal in a bowl! Perfect for a cold winter day and so filling that you might fall asleep in your armchair.....

Thanks for looking and stay warm!

I grew up eating barley, like it a lot and even the texture too. That stew looks excellent.
Thank you!
I never had it growing up. I only heard of it from that song by Traffic in the early 70's until my friend gave me the recipe.
I like having chili over a bed of macaroni and I'm thinking about trying it over barley instead....
