Combine all but onions, making sure the barley and lentils are well mixed. They will form the body of the dish and will pretty much disappear. I put it in the crock pot and cook overnight on low. You could also do it on high for about 3 hours or so.
Before serving, slice onions and sauté in butter or oil on medium low heat til caramelized. Put beans in individual bowls and serve with a dollop of plain yogurt and the onions on top.
I served this with cranberry chutney and naan bread on the side. Also good with rice.
(You can use any kind of beans and you could also add corn, spinach, zucchini - anything! The spice amounts are moderate and I usually double the turmeric and pepper flakes for more pizazz If I have any fresh herbs on hand, I throw them in too).
