Barley-Vegetable Sauté

This meatless main dish is a quick saute‚ of onions, bell pepper, corn and lima beans. A smaller serving size makes a great side dish.

    Very good! As a beginner cook I have a lot to learn (and need to read carefully). I took the advice about using quick cooking barley. Yes, go ahead and laugh, I didn''t cook it before putting it in the meal but I figure next time I go to eat it, I''ll just add some water before popping it in the microwave and pray it cooks it! Despite my ditsy moment, this is a great and easy meal. Just make sure the corn and lima beans are fully thawed or it will take a while to heat up!

    I made this again (the right way) and it has become one of my favorite meals. It is easy to make and then freeze for the rest of the week!
