Recipe
Preparation
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a big nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Add mushrooms; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Cook without
stirring for 1 minute. Cook, stirring, for 4 more minutes, or until
mushrooms are just softened. Transfer mushrooms to a big bowl. Set
aside.
Add 2 teaspoon oil to the skillet. Add onions, celery, carrots and garlic.
Sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5
minutes. Add paprika, thyme and sage. Cook 1 minute longer. Transfer
vegetables to the bowl with mushrooms. Set aside.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon of oil in a big saucepan. Add barley and cook,
stirring, for 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower
heat, cover and simmer 50 minutes, or until barley is tender but not
mushy.
Preheat the oven to 350ø. Lightly coat a deep, 2 1/2-qt casserole
dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Stir barley mixture, parsley and orange juice into the bowl with the
vegetables. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. If the mixture seems
dry, stir in a little water or chicken broth. Transfer the mixture to
the prepared casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, uncovering the dressing for the last 15
minutes. Makes 12 servings.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
The case against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Remember, one point that is often overlooked, it is very hard (although by no means impossible) for vegetarians to follow a low carb diet.
Reducing carbs might mean missing out on vital nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well-balanced diet, especially those that we get from grains, vegetables and fruits.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and spring onions)
The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is too little scientific proof available, allyl sulphides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce problems with blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and insomnia.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so make sure you add them to your diet system.
