    Incredible!
    I loved this recipe, I lowered the salt and omitted the "hunter" spice as I don't have a clue what that is, but used .5 tsp poutry seasoning instead. I used .5 of a cup of raw barley and found I had to add more water.
    The end result was amazing and I'll be making this one alot more.
