Instructions: Barley, onion, garlic, and almonds provide lots of fiber and antioxidants in this side dish. Serve it with fish, chicken, or beef-any entree youd normally have with rice or potatoes. This is also great served with mango chutney for a bit of heat and sweetness to complement the curry. Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cover and cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

Add garlic, and cook 1 minute. Remove from pan. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan.

Add curry powder, and cook 1 minute. Add barley, and toss gently to coat.

Stir in cooked onion, raisins, parsley, toasted almonds, salt, and pepper.

Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 2/3 cup).
