I'm in cohousing now, so we have common meals 4 days a week. Tonight was brown rice with a roasted broccoli dish mixed with barley, black beans (and their sauce?) and mild spices. It was great - nice and thick and warm.

Alas, nearly half the cohousing group won't eat gluten (fad much?), so it was a very small turnout. If you want people to come to dinner, you have to offer a gluten-free option. I'm allergic to cheese and milk, but I rarely get cheese-free options. Your recipe sounds good.
