Have lots of dill at the moment as the stores won't sell just one sprig. :-) That sent me looking for new recipes to use up my bounty. I just love barley in soups so this appealed to me.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup shallot, chopped
2 teaspoons oil
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup quick-cooking barley
1 3/4 cups fat free chicken broth or 1 3/4 cups vegetable broth
3 cups water
1 carrot, sliced into thin coins (optional)
1 tablespoon water
3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Over moderate heat, begin to saute the shallots with oil in a large sauce pan or stockpot. Cook for 5 minutes or so until the shallots are tender and have begun to brown. If the shallots begin to dry, add a tablespoon or so of water.
  • Add the barley to the pot and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Pour broth and 3 cups of water into the pot. Cover with lid and cook 10-15 minutes until the barley is tender. (Check the package instructions for suggested cooking time.).
  • If you are adding the carrots, cook in a separate saucepan in water for 5 minutes until tender but firm.
  • Pour barley and broth into a colander sitting in a larger bowl to collect liquid. Take half the barley and shallots, all of the liquid and 2 tablespoons of sour cream and place in a blender. Puree until smooth.
  • Transfer the contents of the blender back to the pot. Add whole/unblended barley and shallots (and carrots if using) to the creamed mixture and stir until well mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide soup among serving bowls. Thin remaining tablespoon sour cream with remaining tablespoon water and drizzle over soup. Sprinkle with dill.

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups thinly sliced cremini mushrooms
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup unbleached, nonbromated flour
1/2 cup dry red wine
4 cups beef stock or chicken stock
1 cup pearled barley
1 cup unsweetened oat milk
Fresh dill, for garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat to shimmering, then add the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook until aromatic and just starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have given up most of their liquid and are beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the red wine and stock to deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon to loosen the browned bits on the bottom. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Add the barley and cook, stirring occasionally, until it's tender, about 1 hour.
  • Stir in the oat milk. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with dill and serve.

BARLEY WITH BACON, PEAS AND DILL



Barley with Bacon, Peas and Dill image

This fiber-packed side dish makes a comforting and impressive addition to any meal. We've used hulled (also called dehulled) barley, which is less processed, chewier and takes longer to cook than pearl barley. Both varieties work for this recipe (though pearl barley, while still healthy, is not considered a whole grain). Or substitute brown rice, farro or your favorite whole grain.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup whole hulled barley, rinsed
Kosher salt
4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed (about 8 ounces)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the barley, 3 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the barley is chewy but tender, about 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the bacon in a single layer to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; reserve the bacon drippings in the skillet.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and melt the butter in the bacon drippings. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Add the peas and stir until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Drain any excess liquid from the barley. Stir the barley into the onion-pea mixture. Stir in the dill, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the bacon.
