I was looking for something else to do with hominy aside from regular (pork) posole. I also love barley (very healthy too), so this dish killed several birds with one stone. A nice stick-to-your-ribs almost-vegetarian recipe (you could probably substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth and make it truly vegetarian) for a chilly autumn evening; you won't miss the meat at all!
