JOSHUA'S BARLEY POTTAGE



Joshua's Barley Pottage image

My son is interested in medieval and ancient Mediterranean dishes and he likes to experiment with different dishes. This is a Barley Pottage he came up with. It's different, but really good! He makes these often. You can use whatever type of broth in this recipe you like and this recipe can be used as a side dish or a main dish...

Esau's Pottage image

This is one of those healthy vegetarian dishes I used to live on in the '80's during my health and fitness stage. Too bad I didn't stick with it. Still this is a great recipe and I have enjoyed it many times with several variations (Note: I'm guessing on the serving size...don't have that written down anywhere)
