When I started bringing this distinctive dish to holiday dinners, a lot of people had never seen barley in anything but soup. They have since dubbed me "the barley lady", and now I wouldn't dare bring anything this dish. Even if I double the recipe, I come home with an empty pan. -Renate Crump, Los Angeles, California

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup medium pearl barley
1/2 cup slivered almonds or 1/2 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup margarine or 1/4 cup butter
3 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth

Steps:

  • In a skillet, over medium heat, saute the barley, onion and almonds in the butter until lightly browned.
  • Transfer to a 2 quart baking dish, I used a glass dish.
  • Add the parsley, pepper and salt, stir to mix.
  • Add the broth, stir to mix.
  • Bake in the oven at 350 for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the barley is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of grains: Barley is a great choice for this recipe, but you can also use other grains like quinoa, farro, or brown rice.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to toss them in oil and season them well before roasting.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe, so choose one that has a lot of flavor. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan would be a good choice.
  • Don't overcook the barley: Barley should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked barley will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Serve the bake immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is baked. The barley will start to absorb the liquid and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This nutty barley bake is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its combination of roasted vegetables, nutty barley, and flavorful cheese, this bake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
