There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of hearty stew as the seasons begin to change. This comforting recipe brings together tender beef, wholesome vegetables, and our Purple Egyptian Barley for a nourishing meal full of rich flavor and texture.

Purple Egyptian Barley is a beautiful heritage grain with a unique color and hearty character that makes it a wonderful addition to soups and stews. As it simmers, the barley adds a satisfying chewiness while helping create a flavorful, comforting bowl that is perfect for cool fall days.

There’s something special about slowing down and letting time do the work. This overnight artisan sourdough brings together the depth of natural fermentation with the rich character of heritage grains. The result is a beautifully open crumb, complex flavor, and a loaf that feels both rustic and refined.

This recipe comes to us from a friend of Palouse Heritage and features two variations. One highlights the bold, malty depth of our Purple Egyptian Climate Blend. The other leans into the soft, balanced sweetness of English Redhead wheat. Both are outstanding. You really can’t go wrong.
