Ingredients
1 cup Barley, pearled, uncooked1/4 cup Lentils, uncooked4 1/2 cups water2 tbsp olive oil (I use extra light tasting extra virgin olive oil)~30 Baby carrots, raw, cut in half3 Small new potatoes, raw, chopped1/4 white onion, chopped1 small jalepeno, diced1 roma tomato, chopped4 cloves of garlic, crushed3/4 green pepper, choppedsalt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a colander with small holes, wash the barley and lentils for a couple of minutes under lukewarm water. Then place them and all of the other ingredients in a large pot. Stir and cover. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to med-low or in between med-low and low, whichever keeps the stew simmering the whole time. Simmer for 45 minutes, stirring a few times.

TIPS:
You can leave the seeds out of the jalepeno to make the dish less spicy, or take the jalepeno out of the recipe entirely.
