This is a very tasty way to serve a very healthy grain that is often overlooked. I never use the mushrooms as I don’t care for them and often add chopped carrots, red pepper, or grated zucchini.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 cup pearl barley
- 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms (Optional)
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Melt butter in a 1 1/2-quart Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium heat and cook onion until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add celery and cook until starting to soften, stirring often, about 5 more minutes. Mix barley into the vegetables and stir until coated with butter. Fold mushrooms and green pepper into barley mixture; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Pour chicken broth into barley mixture and bring to a boil; cover casserole dish.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until barley is nearly tender, about 30 minutes; uncover casserole dish and bake barley until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 more minutes. Adjust salt and black pepper before serving.
