A savory and comforting casserole featuring earthy mushrooms and wholesome barley, baked until tender. This dish can be served as a vegetarian main or a hearty side.
🧂 Zutaten
- 1 cup Pearl barley(rinsed)
- 500 g Mushrooms(sliced (cremini or mixed mushrooms))
- 1 large Onion(chopped)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cups Vegetable broth(or chicken broth)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt(to taste)
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper(freshly ground, to taste)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme(chopped (optional))
👨🍳 Zubereitung
- 1
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
- 2
Melt the butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3
Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes. If using, stir in the fresh thyme.
- 4
Add the rinsed pearl barley to the skillet and stir to coat with the mushroom and onion mixture.
- 5
Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- 6
Transfer the mixture to a buttered casserole dish if not using a Dutch oven. Cover tightly with a lid or foil.
- 7
Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the barley is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally during baking, adding a little more broth or water if it becomes too dry.
- 8
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Fluff with a fork.
💡 Profitipps
- ✓For a richer flavor, use a combination of mushrooms.
- ✓Ensure the barley is well-rinsed to remove excess starch.
- ✓If the barley is still too firm after baking, add a little more hot broth or water and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes.
