Loved this recipe, i have never used pearl barley before and so glad i have now as its a great alternative to rice. I loved the texture it gave, was very fulling and cheap to make. I just used normal pumpkin that i had on hand. I Would make this again.

This didn't knock my socks off so I'm not giving it 5 stars but I do like it a lot. I used a big old Jack-o-lantern type pumpkin and used pot barley instead of pearl for the added nutrition. I had to change the method quite a bit because I was using pre-cooked barley. I sweated the onion and garlic together then set it aside. I cooked the pumpkin adding the spices part way through. When the pumpkin was partially cooked I added back the onions and garlic and added the barley and raisins. When it started to dry out a bit, I added some apple juice (didn't have any broth or wine in the house). Thanks for the recipe Loula, it's a keeper.

I really liked this as well - thanks Loula! Made for Veg Swap. It's sort of like a barley risotto. I'm not familiar with hokkaido squash, but think it quite resembles pumpkin, except for the rind. I just happened to have a pumpkin on hand, spared a jack-o-lantern demise - so it was perfect timing for this. I used dates, but I think raisins would be better...will try that next time. Aside from cutting the squash, this is nice and easy to throw together and a great main or side.

We loved this Loula ! I used sweet potato instead of squash and left out the dried fruit just due to personal taste.It went beautifully as a side to chicken .I had it at lunch and there was nearly none left for DD to have for dinner after college. Made for Holiday Tag.

Really delicious warming vegetarien stew for winter. I subbed a butternut squash for the hokkaido, added more vegetables and increased the seasoning accordingly. I've never used pearl barley outside of soup mixes but this has converted me. Thanks!
