Here's a little something vaguely North Africanstyle I threw together last
night out of what was in the house; it was good then and better today.

Cook about 1 One half c. barley in salted water till it's done but still
slightly chewy. Drain if there's liquid left. (The liquid will be
appreciated by your pet on h/is dry food.)

Peel and dice One very large (12") or two average (6") eggplants, One
mediumsized butternut squash, seeds and goo removed and One small onion,
minced fine. Cook veggies till tender in barely enough salted water to do
the job (not quite enough to cover) with About 1 rounded tsp. basil.

When done, add remaining ingredients. Cook a few more minutes to thicken
and (if necessary) reduce sauce, stirring frequently. Salt to taste and
serve over barley.
