1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 carton (32 oz) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup uncooked medium pearled barley
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chile pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 pattypan squash, cut into fourths, or 2 medium yellow summer squash, cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
1 large red bell pepper, coarsely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained, rinsed

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in broth, barley, turmeric, cumin, chile pepper and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in squash, bell pepper and beans. Cover; cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until squash and barley are just tender.
