Directions

Wash the barley. Place it in a large kettle with the water, and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour, or until the water is absorbed.

Whle the barley is cooking, prepare the vegetables: chop the onion and slice the carrots and parsnips, and steam them, along with the cabbage, until they are tender-crisp.

Mix together the cooked barley and vegetables. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix well.

Spread the mixture into an uncooked 10-inch pie shell.

Cover with the top crust. Cut a whole into the top crust to let steam escape.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
