INSTRUCTIONS
Bake squash at 350 degrees, half side down in about 1/2 water for 30 min, until slightly tender. Bring 3 cups water to boil, add barley, cook 30-40 minutes until tender. In the meantime, chop/slice veggies, set aside. Brown onion and garlic in pan, with "trace" olive oil until onions are transparent. Add water as needed, if pan gets too dry. Add chopped yellow squash, mushrooms, and spices cook until moisture is released from mushrooms. Add tomatoes and cook for about 2-3 minutes until tomatoes are heated, but still firm. Add prepared barley and cook till barley is reheated and coated with spices and juices. Before filling squash cavity, dust with curry, prick with fork and rub in. Fill with barley-vegetable mixture. Bake additional 30-40 minutes until squash is tender. Serve with additional filling on the side or this will easily fill two squashes! (I had planed on freezing the rest, but there were no leftovers.) I made this up as I went along, and used a pretty heavy hand with the Spike and the curry, as I like my food with ZIP. I got rave reviews from the group that I tried it out on tonight. Posted to Digest eat-lf.v096.n170 From: [email protected] (Lisa C. Ferguson) Date: Sun, 29 Sep 1996 00:07:52 -0400
