FBC barley

[Farr Away]

Has anyone tried barley in an FBC meal?

I planned to have a chicken and rice meal last night, and then dehydrate the leftover rice. Not enough rice for dinner though - much less leftovers. I did have pearled barley, so I cooked up a pot of that instead.

The leftovers dried well overnight, but I'm wondering how rehydration is going to go. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I'm not a FBC user...but I do use Quick Barley often in place of rice. Cooks in 10 mins. Good for the fiber too.

Never thought of it. Let us know how it works out.

Cooked and dehydrated, it works well.

Will do.

I'm thinking I may try something on the order of Cheesy Chicken Barley. Or maybe Beef Barley Soup.

FYI: Bought the pearled barley at the international grocery for much less per pound than the little boxes at the grocery store.
