2 Roma tomatoes, diced
3 scallions, sliced

Note:
To cook dry black barley - Rinse 1 cup of dry black barley with cold water and place it in a heavy bottom saucepan with 5 cups of water or broth and salt if desired. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Drain if necessary. Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
