Tips:  This dish can be assembled and baked later.  Add the boiling water just 
before baking.  Baking time should be increased by 15 minutes when starting 
refrigerated temperature.


 Heat oil in a large skillet.  Add onion, celery, and green pepper.
Cook slowly for 10 minutes.  Do not brown.
Stir in tomatoes, kidney beans, barley, parsley, salt, basil, and black pepper.
Transfer mixture to a buttered 2-to 3 quart casserole with lid.  Add boiling 
water.  Cover.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 1-1/2 hours or until barley is tender and liquid is 
absorbed.  Sprinkle with grated cheese before serving.

 Good served with:  Marinated, slightly blanched mixed vegetables, hot French 
bread and butter.
