Health and fertility benefits of Barley Chili Recipe

Barley is about the best grain a woman with PCOS can eat. It is low in calories and has the lowest GI of all grains. Low-GI grains such as barley take much longer to digest and create a slow, steady rise in blood glucose and insulin levels. As mentioned before on Fertility Chef, low-GI foods reduce cravings. If possible, try and find hulled barley as it is the most nutrient dense of all types of barley.

Ingredients

1/2 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups water
1/3 cup medium pearl barley
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in flour. Add the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour or until barley is tender.
