APPLE BARLEY PUDDING

Irish cuisine originated in the kitchens of the farmers of the past from good, wholesome food made with locally grown produce. Irish grain staples were barley, wheat, oats, and rye. Combine it with apples, another staple and you have a great Irish favorite. It can also make a hearty breakfast for those cold winter months if served warm instead of chilled. Especially if you use yogurt in place of the cream, also making it a great low fat dessert. :D Great either way. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05

TRADITIONAL IRISH APPLE BARLEY PUDDING



TRADITIONAL IRISH APPLE BARLEY PUDDING image

Back on the farm in Ireland this dish was a way to use up leftover apples after the harvest. I just happen to have some extra apples myself and while on the hunt for something to do with them, I found this interesting recipe. It only calls for five ingredients--what could be simpler?

1/4 c pearl barley
1 1/2 lb tart apples, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
