    <directions>&lt;p&gt;To make starter (or what bakers call poolish), combine 1 cup of bread flour with 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of yeast. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. The longer the starter sits, the sharper the flavor.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To make bread, dissolve coffee in water; add barley flour and let rest for 1 hour. Sift together yeast, bread flour, salt, powdered milk and Vital Gluten. Add remaining ingredients and mix until gluten develops; dough will be elastic-like. Cover and let rise until 1.5 times original size. Using additional bread flour, knead and then shape into loaves. Let rise until 1.5 times original size and bake at 400F for 30 to 45 minutes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yield: 2 loaves.&lt;/p&gt;</directions>

    <directions>&lt;p&gt;In a large mixing bowl, combine water, honey and yeast. Let sit for approximately 10 minutes to proof the yeast. In the meantime, mix the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Add half the dry ingredients and stir into a batter. Add the lemon juice and oil and then begin slowly adding some of the remaining flour mixture. When the mixture becomes quite thick and difficult to handle, turn the mixture out of the bowl and knead vigorously for 10 minutes by hand, or 5 minutes by machine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes, then knead by hand again for 2-3 minutes, form into 3 or 4 loaves and put into greased baking pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until double in bulk (about 1 hour). Bake in a 360F (185C) oven for about half an hour or until done.&lt;/p&gt;</directions>

    <directions>&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Preheat oven to 350 F.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Add oil to a large saucepan or roasting pan and heat on top of the stove. Add the onions, celery, green pepper and garlic; mix well. Saute 5 to 10 minutes, scraping bottom of pan periodically.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Add the tomatoes (with juice), broth/water and barley. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boi, stirring often. Add the bay leaves, salt, cayenne, oregano, black pepper and thyme; mix well. Cover, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Place the covered pan in the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes. Check and stir after 30 minutes, adding more liquid if needed. Remove the bay leaves before serving. Serves 6.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Pearled barley can be found in supermarkets, usually near the rice and dried beans, and bulk form at health and natural food stores. Recipe instructions call fro regular pearled barley. You also may use quick-cooking barley, which is pre-steamed to shorten the cooking time to about 10-minutes. Adjust the cooking time per package instructions.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You may substitute ham, beef smoked sausage, chicken or shrimp for the turkey sausage. Add chicken or shrimp later in the cooking process to avoid overcooking or precook and stir in during final 10 minutes to warm.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recipe courtesy of Dallas News and chef Sarah McKay.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;</directions>

    <directions>&lt;p&gt;Sprinkle chicken evenly with lemon juice and turmeric; arrange over bottom of slow cooker stoneware.In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add celery and onions; cook, stirring, until celery is softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook stirring, for 1 minute. Add cumin, coriander, cardamom and salt; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add barley and toss to coat. Add stock and tomatoes with juice; bring to a rapid boil. Spread over chicken in stoneware.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3 hours, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork. In a small bowl, combine chili pepper and yogurt. Stir into stoneware. Cover and cook on High 20 minutes, until flavours meld. Serves 6&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cooks Notes: Works best in a large (minimum 5 quart/5 litre) slow cooker. For best flavour, toast and grind whole cumin, coriander and cardamom seeds rather than buying the ground versions.Simply sir seed in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Immediately grind in spice grinder or mortar.Use the variety of barley you prefer - pearled, pot or whole. Whole (also known as hulled) barley is a nutrious form of the grain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make ahead: Complete steps 1 and 2.Cover and refrigerate chicken and vegetable mixtures separately for up to 2 days. When you are ready to cook continue with the recipe.&lt;/p&gt;</directions>

    <directions>&lt;p&gt;Preparation: Mix ground bacon and pork.Cook ground meat mixture in frying pan with spices. Cool overnight. Boil barley and chopped onions, stirring frequently, until barley is soft. Combine the two mixtures (ground meat and barley/onions). Let the mixture cool to room temperature.Soak casings in cold water to remove excess salt. Finally, run cold water through casings. Feed casings into sausage stuffer and fill with mixture to desired size and firmness. Boil each sausage for about one minute. Allow to cool before bagging and freezing.Serving: Gently pierce thawed sausages on all sides with a fork and place the rings on a pan sprayed with Pam vegetable oil. Heat at 375 F for about 30 minutes, or until casings are brown and crisp. Serve hot!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Notes: Sheep casing is thinner than pork or beef.Sausage grinders and stuffers can be purchased at Butchers and Packers Supplies. (#10 stuffer was used in preparing this recipe).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This recipe yields roughly 20 25&quot; - 28&quot; long sausage rings.Sausages should not be frozen for longer then one year.&lt;/p&gt;</directions>
