Dear Shirley: This is the recipe from Jacqueline Canter of Canter’s. She says the recipe is made in large quantities, so it may taste a little different when translated to a home recipe. Still, the ingredients are identical and you can play around with proportions to suit your taste.
Combine broth, carrots, onion and celery in large pot. Bring to simmer. Add gizzards, barley and lima beans, stirring to keep beans from sticking. Bring again to simmer and add butter. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and barley is soft, about 1 hour.
