    Yum. I halved this and left off the jalapenos. Really great flavor. The kids were not huge fans but they prefer plain food and don't always recognize how good something really is! I served this over pearl barley and I liked the combination of almost sweet beans and the creamy pearl barley.

    This was surprisingly flavorful and not the least bit bean-boring as I feared it might be. Half a recipe made more than enough to serve four at our house. We dressed the pita sandwiches with a spoonful of cooling, creamy yogurt.
