BARLEY WITH VEGETABLES



Barley With Vegetables image

If you own a rice cooker this is a unique way to prepare a main dish or use this as a side dish. Can also be done on the stove top in about the same time.

Provided by Tebo3759

Categories     Grains

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup barley
2 cups broth (of your choice)
1 large onion, chopped
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 (8 ounce) can mushrooms, drained
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley
pepper

Steps:

  • Put all in a rice cooker, stir and press the start button.
  • Will be ready in about 45 minutes.
  • I often add additional veggies such as frozen peas, celery, zucchini, thin sliced carrot etc.

Tips:

  • Choose the right barley: For this recipe, use pearl barley. It cooks quickly and has a mild flavor that pairs well with the vegetables.
  • Rinse the barley: Rinsing the barley removes any dirt or debris and helps it cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or omit vegetables as desired.
  • Don't overcook the barley: Barley should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked barley will be mushy.
  • Season to taste: Taste the barley and vegetables before serving and adjust the seasonings as desired.

Conclusion:

Barley with vegetables is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.

Here are some additional tips for making barley with vegetables:

  • If you don't have any fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables instead.
  • Add a protein source to the dish, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to make it a complete meal.
  • Serve barley with vegetables as a side dish or as a main course.
This versatile dish is a great way to enjoy the benefits of barley and vegetables. It is a healthy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
