2/3 C Barley (pot or pearl)
1 2/3 C Water
1 10oz package frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
2 C sliced mushrooms (I sometimes cheat and use more)
2 cloves garlic pressed
1 1/2 C fatfree cottage cheese or dry curd cottage cheese
1/4 C + 2 tablespoons fat free parmeasan cheese
1/2 C egg substitute
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 onion chopped
Cook barley until tender. Combine other ingredients except the 2T fatfree parmasan cheese. Put in 1 1/2 quart casserole. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Bake uncovered 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
