  1       c            Onions -- chopped
  1 1/2   c            Pearl barley -- cooked

 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.
