Directions

First you need to get ready these a few ingredients.
Second you need these seasoning ingredients.
Slice the mushrooms and chop the carrot.
Next chop the bell peppers and onions.

Toss the carrots into a hot wok and cook for a few minutes, add the garlic, onions and green and red bell peppers, deglazig the pan with water or tamari.

Add the garbanzo beans, barley,
and pour in the vegetable stock.
Add the spices to taste.
Cook it until it's really hot.

Note:

The tamari really worked well in this, but I only used a tablespoon for the whole recipe.

The black pepper and tabasco gave it some "kick" and I threw in the cumin because I like the flavor. Add these in small amounts if you don't like things really hot. The salt is optional.

You can add more water and/or water/tamari mix if you want to make it a little soupier. Cook it until it's really hot and serve over toasted whole wheat bread, like a sloppy joe.

Even though it's been warm during the day here in the Northeast, we've still had some cool evenings, so hot food has been okay. This is good served with fruit salad or tossed salad.

Serve hot, and enjoy.
