    1. Nina, thank you for your comments!  I, personally, love to make this barley ahead of time and then I heat it up for a quick breakfast.  Let me know if you decide to try it.

  2. I might have to try this. I love curry but I don’t eat it often because it has so much salt and calories. This might be a great way to get my curry cravings without having to feel guilty for what I’m eating. I’ve not tried barley before in this manner but i’m willing to try it if I can replace curry. 

  3. This looks like it would be a perfect blend of sweet and savory with chewy and crunchy bites. I could see this as the best of all worlds. This is definitely a recipe that I will give a try. I am always looking for new recipes. Tumeric is widely recognized as a superfood and something that I have been looking for ways to incorporate into my cooking.

  4. The sweet, tangy flavors of cranberries and raisins pair wonderfully with the nutty sweetness of pecans! This recipe is not only delicious but also has a few great health benefits. It’s perfect if you’re looking for something different but still easy! I really enjoy cooking up savory dishes in my kitchen. How would you rate this dish, Cynthia? 🙂
