Onion peel and cut into half rings. Clean the carrots, cut into large julienne strips and finely chop garlic. Then, in a deep pan, put on medium heat, add olive oil. When oil is hot, add the onions, carrots and garlic. Fry the vegetables for 7-10 minutes stirring constantly.

Then add the vegetables, pearl barley and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes.

I used pearl barley "barley" TM "Mistral", for which I thank Larochka (Stall).

Clean pepper and cut in small pieces. Add to pan with tomato paste, mashed tomatoes (I used canned), bell peppers, and 800 ml of hot water. Water may need a little more. Prepare our barley on low heat under a lid, stirring occasionally, until tender

When the barley is ready, add salt and pepper. If the sauce turned out sour, add a little sugar.
