--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6       c            Water
   2       ts           Salt
   2       lb           Boneless lamb -- cut into
                        - serving chunks
   3       cl           Garlic -- crushed
   1       c            Barley
   2       tb           Olive oil

  Place the water, salt, lamb, and garlic in a 4 qt heavy, covered
  saucepan. Bring to a boil, turn to a simmer, cover and cook for
  2 hours.

  Remove all from the pot, reserving the broth. Remove the fat from
  the broth and add enough water to make 6 cups.

  Place the barley in a grain grinder and grind very coarsely. You
  want something like groats or bulgur wheat in terms of texture.

  Stir the olive oil into the barley groats and place in the pan.
  Return the meat and broth to the pan and bring to a light boil.

  Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes or until the barley is soft and
  tasty and the liquid is absorbed.

  Serve with crusty Italian bread or with pita bread.
