LAMB, MUSHROOM, AND BARLEY CASSEROLE



Lamb, Mushroom, and Barley Casserole image

Something to make when you have some leftover roast or shanks, this is a meal-in-one dish that can be eaten right from the individual small casserole dish it is baked in.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup barley
1 1/2 cups lamb broth (see headnote, page 199) or leftover lamb gravy or pan juice with water
2 teaspoons butter or vegetable oil
1 shallot, or 1/2 small onion, chopped fine
3 or 4 mushrooms, quartered
A splash of white wine
1/2-3/4 cup cooked lamb, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
A scattering of chopped fresh parsley mixed with a little savory or marjoram, fresh or dried
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
A drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • Simmer the barley in a small pot with most of the lamb broth, checking occasionally to see that the liquid has not boiled away, and adding more as needed. After 35-40 minutes, most of the liquid should be absorbed and the barley tender. Set aside. Meanwhile, heat the butter or oil in a small pan, and sauté the shallot until wilted. Add the mushrooms, and cook for 3-4 minutes, tossing occasionally. Splash in some white wine, and cook to reduce a little. Fill the bottom of a one-serving casserole with half the barley, then the mushrooms and lamb pieces, and finally the rest of the barley, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper and the herbs. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top, and drizzle a little olive oil over it. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh mushrooms.
  • If you don't have fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for 30 minutes before using.
  • You can use any type of barley for this recipe, but pearl barley is the most common.
  • If you don't have pearl barley, you can use another type of grain, such as brown rice or quinoa.
  • Be sure to rinse the barley before cooking it.
  • You can add other vegetables to this recipe, such as carrots, celery, or onions.
  • If you want a vegetarian casserole, you can omit the bacon.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of salad or bread.

Conclusion:

Barley casserole with mushrooms is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With its combination of barley, mushrooms, and cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
