This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover rice. It's also a great side dish for roasted chicken or fish.

I'm not a big fan of barley, but this pilaf was actually really good. The barley was cooked perfectly and the mushrooms were flavorful.

This pilaf is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was just as good the next day.

I didn't have any mushrooms on hand, so I used chopped carrots instead. It turned out great!

The pilaf was a little dry. I think I should have added more liquid.

This pilaf was a little bland for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had more spices or herbs.

This pilaf is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The mushrooms are hidden in the pilaf, so they're not as noticeable.

I wasn't sure how I would like barley, but this pilaf changed my mind. The barley was tender and the mushrooms were savory. I'll definitely be making this again.
