Wonderful side dish, I would even eat this cold. Chopped the mushrooms up small, not my favorites, and enjoyed the earthy flavor. Some of my veggies were thicker than others but I enjoyed the bit of crunch. Used a good handful of green onions and loved the milder flavor. This is a keeper! Thank you so much annya127 for posting this recipes. Made and reviewed for the Cooking Photo forums 5 A DAY-ARE YOU DOING IT ? Fruits & Veggies of summer July event.

    Savory and filling, this is a wonderful and inexpensive dish. Not to mention easy to put together. However I used standard barley, for which you must change the amount of water to 2 cups. Great dish!

    I've just made this with buckwheat as I realised at the last minute I didn't have any barley. Tastes great and is really easy. Thanks for the post Annya.
