Recently I went to a peruvian restaurant and the only thing on the menu was Barlotto which is a barley stir fry with veggies. I did not expect to like it as much as I did. It was incredibly flavorful and filling.

I recreated the recipe to the best of my abilities, and maybe I am bias but I think I did a pretty good job.

Try it, and let me know what you think.
