I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I think it could be improved with a few tweaks. I would add more vegetables, and I would also use a different type of bean.

The barley in this dish was a bit too chewy for my liking. I think I'll try using rice next time.

This recipe was a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chipotle pepper.
