Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil; 15 cloves garlic, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds; 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds; Dash black or Aleppo pepper; 1/8 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 teaspoon curry powder; 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 entire head of celery, chopped coarsely; 6 carrots, peeled and chopped coarsely; 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks (I like them nice and large); 1/2 cup barley; 2 cans chickpeas, or 1/2 bag dried chickpeas soaked overnight

Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
15 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
Dash black or Aleppo pepper
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 entire head of celery, chopped coarsely
6 carrots, peeled and chopped coarsely
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in chunks (I like them nice and large)
1/2 cup barley
2 cans chickpeas, or 1/2 bag dried chickpeas soaked overnight

1
Heat the oil in a large pot (I used my Le Creuset stock pot) over medium-low heat. Add the chopped garlic and mustard and cumin seeds. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until your kitchen is smelling lovely and the seeds are beginning to pop.
2
Add the remaining spices and the salt and cook for another minute, stirring, to incorporate all those lovely seasonings.
3
Add the vegetables, barley, chickpeas and enough water to cover. If you're using canned beans, cook for about 2 hours. Dried beans may need longer to really soften up (I cooked mine gently for close to four hours).
4
Serve as a main dish with some plain yogurt and tortilla chips. Oh, did I mention that it freezes really well? Freeze anything you have left for another time. It's great a as a side dish next to meat or fish.
