Step 3

Cut off about 4 inches of yucca root, peel and cut. Put in boiling water

Step 4

until it begins to soften, about 15 minutes.

Step 5

Put cooking wine and a little balsamic viniger in a standard large sauteing

Step 6

pan, and begin to heat. Chop up brocalli, add, stir a bit, then chop

Step 7

peppers, add to pan stir. Do the same with the mushrooms and onions. Stir

Step 8

everything until onions are transpartent. If everything is timed correctly,

Step 9

it will work.

Step 10

Add vegetables and yucca root and barley to crockpot, then add oregan,

Step 11

basil, cayanne, and tamari to taste. Maybe a teaspoon or two of oregano

Step 12

and basil, a pinch or cayanne, and maybe a tablespoon of tamari. Fill

Step 13

crockpot almost full of water(assuming a four quart crockpot), stir, and

Step 14

set on low for 8-10 hours.

Step 15

I then set my rice cooker, steamer, and a bag of jasmine rice(about 20

Step 16

ounces) by the door and went to sleep.

Step 17

In the morning I stirred the barley stew to redistribute the spices, and

Step 18

let it cook.

Step 19

About 30 minutes before the ETA of my sister, I sauted one red onion with

Step 20

wine and balsamic viniger, and put the sauteed onion in a pyrex container

Step 21

with some rosemary, saffron, and a pinch of cayanne. I put this container,

Step 22

along with the brocalli I was going to steam, by the door in anticipation

Step 23

of my sister.

Step 24

When my sister arrived, we put everything in the car, including the crock

Step 25

pot, and made the 1 1/2 hour trek to my fathers place. When I got there I

Step 26

plugged in the crock pot, and went outside and said hi to the goats. Later,

Step 27

I put the rice, onions, and water in the rice cooker and turned it on, then

Step 28

went to measure out some rafters. When the rice cooker hit the warm cycle,

Step 29

I set the brocalli to steam. When the vegetable was finished, luch was

Step 30

ready. Everyone ate and enjoyed it. A success if there ever was one.

Step 31

BTW, the recipies are by many definitions mine, as I did not specifically

Step 32

look at any cookbook to create them. However, they are also not mine, as I

Step 33

have sourced book like 'Bert Greene on Grain' and 'Laurels Kitchen', as

Step 34

well as the books that came with the appliances themselves, to get general

Step 35

ideas and methodologies. Nevertheless, it would be incorrect to reference

Step 36

any of these books as the source of the recipes, and individual recipies

Step 37

generally don't include bibliographies
