The recipe called for beef brisket. My loose translation turned into corned beef brisket because that was what I defrosted. I browned the onions in a heavy skillet then placed in the crockpot. I then added the presoaked beans and barley along with 6 cups of hot water, salt, pepper and paprika, stirring well. Next, I seared the corned beef brisket and placed on the beans and topped that off with the seasoning packet that came with the brisket. Turned on the crockpot and cooked overnight. The next morning, I sliced the meat and placed everything in the fridge until dinner time. This dish was served with cornbread and a mixture of raw vegetables for a very substantial meal. Delicious!

I cooked this in my beloved 7qt. cast iron Dutch oven at 300F for 6 hours. I used frozen/defrosted lima beans. The barley & beans made what I called 'barley & bean pudding' when explaining to the kids what I was feeding them. 1 gobbled it up(5yo) & the other(8yo) wouldn't touch it. sigh I thought it was delicious. The meat was a little dry - ??? But very tender. This will reappear since this year will be the year of low maintenance meals!! Thanks, Toolie.
