Mushroom and Barley Pilaf image

I think barley is one of those foods that most people don't really give a lot of thought to. It's such a great food. This is a great recipe to enjoy this awesome legume.

The instructions were a bit confusing, and I ended up overcooking the barley. The pilaf was still tasty, but the barley was a bit too chewy.

This pilaf was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked it to have more flavor. I think I'll try adding some additional spices next time.

This mushroom and barley pilaf was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and savory, and the texture was perfect. I especially loved the addition of the mushrooms, which gave the dish a meaty umami flavor.
