--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1       tb           Vegetable oil
   2       c            Mushrooms -- chopped
   1       c            Onions -- chopped
   1 1/2   c            Pearl barley -- cooked
   2       tb           Parsley -- chopped
     1/4   ts           Thyme
     1/4   ts           Ground pepper
   1       c            Monterey jack -- shredded
   4       md           Bell peppers
   1       c            Marinara sauce

  Preheat oven to 350 F. Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add
  mushrooms and onions and cook, stirring until the onions are
  browned. Stir in the barley, parsley, thyme and pepper.  Stir in
  the cheese; set aside. Rinse the bell peppers. Cut off the tops;
  remove and discard the seeds and pith. If necessary, make a thin
  slice on the bottom of each pepper to balance. Spoon 1/4 of the
  mixture into each pepper. Stand the peppers upright in a baking
  dish just large enough to accommodate them. Pour the sauce into the
  baking dish. Bake 30 minutes or until the peppers are tender.
