Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup  regular (pearled) barley
  • 2 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons  red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon  cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons  olive oil
  • 4 small lamb loin chops, cut 1 inch thick
  • 1 small cucumber, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup  red sweet pepper strips
  • 1/4 cup  sweet onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup  Italian (flat-leaf) parsley or mint, snipped
  • 4 oval-shaped flatbreads, toasted*

Directions

1. Prepare barley following package directions. Drain. Rinse with cold water; drain. Set aside.

2. Meanwhile, for tomato vinaigrette, in blender or food processor combine tomatoes, vinegar, garlic, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend or process until almost smooth. Blend in olive oil. Reserve 1/4 cup to brush on lamb.
