Whelp…it looks like I chose the exact wrong week to experiment with beans. My wonderful boyfriend just graduated from college which means I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off the last couple days. So, sorry about that and Legume Week will start up again on Sunday.

I look forward to it! I really enjoyed (a slightly modified version of) the Barley/Lentil Stew.

Thanks! The new post should be up tonight or tomorrow morning. How did you change the soup?

Undercooked the barley slightly (very slightly)
3 Sazon no-salt packets instead of beef bullion (Sazon is a spice powder used in Mexican cooking)
Didn’t have any Red Pepper Flakes so I used powdered chili (not the kind used for chili stew , but actual hot chili).
Made it Vegan and had a good mouth feel (imo).

Oh and fresh garlic!
