Purchase some whole barley (purchase at a health food store), not pearl barley,
and cook it similarly to rice until softened. Give it a whirl in the food
processor with a bit of the cooking water to smooth it out. You might even
sweeten it with a bit of barley syrup (also available at health food stores in
bulk) to make it a bit more palatable.
