Baked Barley

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Combine the cooked barley, molasses, tomato puree, and water in a large mixing bowl.

Stir in the honey, diced white onion, sea salt, garlic powder, turmeric, and freshly ground black pepper until well blended.

Transfer the barley mixture to a greased 9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven.

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the edges are caramelized.

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
