* 2 cups pearl barley
* 1 onion, chopped
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 4 parsnips, peeled and chopped
* 6 mushrooms, sliced
* 1 red pepper, chopped
* 2 zucchini, chopped
* 2 Tbsp Italian Herb mix
* pinch salt
* 1 Tbsp fresh parsley
* ½ head lettuce, torn


1. Put the barley in a large pot, rinse, and add 4 cups of water. Add all of the chopped vegetables, the dried herbs and the salt. Stir together, and put it in the oven at 350 degrees F.
2. Stir occasionally, and when the barley has absorbed the water and the parsnips are soft, serve over a bed of lettuce.

Mmmmm this sounds great thank you I`m using this tomorrow for lunch!
