| 2 | c. brown lentils |
| 1/2 | c. barley |
| 4 | c. water |
| 1 | onion, chopped |
| 1 | med. to large zucchini, chopped |
| 1 | 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes |
| 2 - 3 | chipotle chilies, seeded* and crushed |
| 2 - 4 | cloves garlic, minced |
| 1 -2 | T. chili powder |
| 1 | tsp. ground cumin |
| 1 | tsp. dried oregano |
Simmer lentils and barely in water until lentils are tender, approx. 45 minutes; add more water if necessary, or a dollop of red wine couldn't hurt! Add remaining ingredients and simmer for another 20 - 30 minutes. Add 1-16 ounce package of frozen sweet corn. Heat and eat. Makes great leftovers.
*Seed if you don't like it too hot.
