 Categories: Squash, Grains, Vegetables, Herbs, Pork
      Yield: 11 Servings
 
      8 sl Maple-smoked bacon
  1 1/2 c  Chopped onions
      1 c  Coarse chopped celery
    1/2 c  Coarse chopped red bell
           - pepper
  4 1/2 c  Chicken broth
    1/2 c  Dry white wine
  1 1/2 c  Pearl barley
      4 c  Peeled, seeded butternut
           - squash; in 1/2" cubes
    1/4 c  Snipped fresh sage leaves
    1/2 ts (ea) salt & ground black
           - pepper
    1/4 c  Chicken broth (opt)
           Fresh sage leaves (opt)
 
  In a large skillet cook bacon over medium-high heat until
  crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon from skillet
  and drain on paper towels; crumble bacon and set aside.
  Reserve 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the skillet;
  discard the remaining drippings. Add onions, celery, and
  sweet pepper to drippings in skillet; cook and stir over
  medium heat about 5 minutes or just until vegetables are
  tender. Transfer vegetables to a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven.
  
  Add the 4 1/2 cups chicken broth and wine to Dutch oven;
  bring to boiling. Add barley. Return to boiling; reduce
  heat. Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. Stir in squash.
  Cook, covered, about 20 minutes more or until squash and
  barley are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from
  heat. Stir in crumbled bacon, sage, salt, and pepper; mix
  well. (To serve today, omit Steps 3 and 4 and serve warm.)
  
  Lightly grease a 2 1/2 to 3 quart baking dish; spoon
  squash mixture into baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap;
  chill for up to 24 hours.
  
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  If chilled, remove plastic wrap. If desired, drizzle
  dressing with an additional 1/4 cup chicken broth to
  moisten. Bake, covered, for 45 to 55 minutes or until
  heated through, stirring once. If desired, top with fresh
  sage leaves.
