1-1/4 cup uncooked or quick-cooking barley
Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
Toast barley over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water and cook until tender.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic, celery, bell pepper, and carrot.
Sauté until onion is soft, but not browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add tomatoes, pine nuts, nutmeg, savory, curry, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine with cooked grain and mix well. Spoon into lightly oiled 9"x13" casserole or baking dish. Cover and bake.
Dairy option: top with 1/3 cup cheese before baking.
