Ingredients

3 slices of bacon ( I have always added more )

1 small onion thinly sliced

1 cup dry lentils, rinsed

1 cup uncooked quick-cooking barley

2 teaspoons beef-flavored instant bouillion

1 teapoon cumin

1/8 teaspoon allspice

3 1/2 cups water 1 can stewed tomatoes, undrained

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp then remove and set to the side.

Add onion and lentils to bacon drippings, cook over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender and lentils are slightly browned.

Add barley, bouillon, cumin, allspice and water.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium, cover simmer 15 minutes or until lentils are soft

Add tomatoes

Cook uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until barley and lentils are tender.

Just before serving, stir in parsley and crumble bacon over top

**I have made this and served it on top of a large grilled portabello mushroom. It's pretty good

Made it tonight so I can have some for lunch tomorrow and more for a side dish with pork apple sausages. Our tasting tonight....delicious! Thanks.

Would this be good dropped in the center of a lump of mashed potatoes? I'm thinking the consistancy is more gravy like than soup like. Is that right?

I usually make rice to go with roasted chicken, but last night, I made this instead. It was delicious, hearty, and had a nice spice. I thought my husband would hate it, but he was brave, tried it - and liked it! I posted a pic of the finished product. Yummy, great recipe! Hearty enough to be a meal on it's own. (I added extra bacon, too - I think 3 extra slices. Can't hurt, right?)
