  4. One question on this recipe – is it 2 cups lentils and 1/2 cup barley after cooking, or before? Your recipe includes a cooking step for them, but the ingredient list says already prepared, so I’m not sure what measurement you meant.

    1. Sorry for confusion! I cook 2 cups of dry lentils and 1/2 cup dry barley.

      I hope you enjoy :)
