We loved this Loula ! I used sweet potato instead of squash and left out the dried fruit just due to personal taste.It went beautifully as a side to chicken .I had it at lunch and there was nearly none left for DD to have for dinner after college. Made for Holiday Tag.

Really delicious warming vegetarien stew for winter. I subbed a butternut squash for the hokkaido, added more vegetables and increased the seasoning accordingly. I've never used pearl barley outside of soup mixes but this has converted me. Thanks!

I really liked this as well - thanks Loula! Made for Veg Swap. It's sort of like a barley risotto. I'm not familiar with hokkaido squash, but think it quite resembles pumpkin, except for the rind. I just happened to have a pumpkin on hand, spared a jack-o-lantern demise - so it was perfect timing for this. I used dates, but I think raisins would be better...will try that next time. Aside from cutting the squash, this is nice and easy to throw together and a great main or side.
