CHICKPEA AND VEGETABLE BARLEY BAKE



Chickpea and Vegetable Barley Bake image

Barley has to be my best food discovery of last year. It is really cheap and a little bit goes a long way in a dish because it really bulks out during cooking. Not to mention how healthy it is for you. This is my latest barley creation. You could have it as a side dish but I just split it between myself and my finance and it made a very filling meal for two.

Provided by Sarah_Jayne

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup pearl barley
1 onion, quartered and then sliced
1 cup carrot, sliced
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Put pearl barley in an oven proof casserole dish.
  • Saute the onions, carrots and celery in a little bit of oil (or use a cooking spray, I do) until the onions are tender.
  • Add to the casserole dish and give it a stir to mix in with the pearl barley.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and give another stir.
  • Cover and bake in the oven for about an hour. Keep checking every 25 minutes or so just to make sure it isn't going dry. It is ready when the barley has bulked up and gone tender from absorbing the liquid.

Tips:

  • Soak the barley overnight: Soaking the barley overnight helps to soften it and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the barley overnight, you can quick-soak it by boiling it in water for 10 minutes, then draining it and rinsing it.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or green beans.
  • Add some protein: If you want a more filling meal, you can add some protein to the barley bake. Good options include cooked chicken, beef, or tofu.
  • Season to taste: Don't forget to season the barley bake to taste. You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other spices you like.
  • Top with cheese: If you like, you can top the barley bake with cheese before baking it. This will give it a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Barley bake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables and protein, and it's also a good source of fiber and nutrients. So next time you're looking for a hearty and comforting meal, give barley bake a try!
