Barley And Lentils With Mint Recipe

  1. Barley and lentils mixed with yogurt and fresh mint make a refreshing side dish for an Indian-influenced meal.
  2. If you use decorticated (skinless) lentils, watch them closely; they'll get mushy if cooked too long.
  3. Preparation Time: About 10 min
  4. Cooking Time: About 55 min
  5. Sort lentils to remove any debris.
  6. Rinse and drain lentils and barley.
  7. In a 2- to 3-qt pan, bring broth to a boil.
  8. Add in barley and lentils (if using lentils with skins).
  9. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer till barley and lentils are tender to bite (about 40 min); drain.
  10. (If using decorticated lentils, add in when barley is almost tender - after about 30 min; continue to cook just till lentils and barley are tender to bite, about 10 more min.)
  11. Stir raisins and mint into lentils and barley, then pour into a serving bowl.
  12. While lentils and barley are cooking, toast almonds in a 350 degree oven till golden brown (about 8 min), stirring several times.
  13. Sprinkle almonds over lentil-barley mix.
  14. Offer yogurt to add in to taste, if you like.
  15. NOTES :

lentils, pearl barley, lowsodium chicken broth, raisins, fresh mint, whole blanched almonds
