Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup pearled barley
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1/2 cup chopped curly parsley

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, boil water, stir in pearled barley. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat, let stand 5 minutes.
  • Cut zucchini and carrots into small cubes.
  • Place ground lamb and carrots in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini and cook until the lamb is fully browned and done and the zucchini has softened. Remove from heat.
  • Add the cooked barley and parsley to the skillet. Stir well. Allow to cool before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

Do not use Italian flat-leaf parsley because it contains a toxin that can cause dermatitis or blindness in dogs.
