I ate a lot of barley, rice, beans, lentils and pasta when I was young, Not because I was a vegan bot because I was Po.
Meat makes it stick with you.
My Mom makes the BEST beef, barley vegetable soup!
There’s bacon/salt pork in the ‘Titanic’ recipe at the Dragon’s Kitchen link.
Add Flanken to the barley soup.
“Flanken is a traditional Eastern European Jewish short rib dish, and serves as the origin of flanken cut of short ribs. Flanken-cut short ribs are boiled in broth with onions and other seasonings until the meat is very tender and the broth is rich. The stew is then served with grated horseradish.”
