(I used cooking spray and little splash of white wine.) Add mushrooms and onion, and saute 4 minutes or until tender. Add water and next 7 ingredients (water through canned tomatoes); bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Add barley; cover and cook 10 minutes or until barley is tender. Yield: 4 servings (serving size 1 1/4 cups). kwvegan vegan
