Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi! My name is Ashley & I recently became vegetarian, primarily for health reasons. I have to say I feel so much better after just 2 weeks of no meat! I'm looking forward to collecting & sharing many good vegetarian recipes! I was also wondering if anyone could recommend a good vegetarian restaurant in Chicago near O'Hare? I'm traveling there on business tomorrow. Thanks! Ashley Here's a recipe I made recently. It was pretty good on its own, but if you want to make it even more hearty and give it a kick, serve it over brown rice & add some hot sauce! Lentil Barley Stew (Makes about 1½ quarts) 1/2 cup lentils, rinsed 1/4 cup hulled or pearled barley 1 quart vegetable broth or water 1 small onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, pressed or minced 1 carrot, diced 1 celery stalk, sliced 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt Place all ingredients except salt into a large pot and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until lentils and barley are tender, about 1 hour. Add salt to taste.
