Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup pearl barley, rinsed
2 shallots, minced
1/4 pound white or wild mushrooms, sliced
2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat, or water
3/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a heavy, medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add barley and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. The barley should start to brown and give off an aroma.
  • Add shallots, and cook for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add stock and salt. Bring to a boil; then turn down heat to a bare simmer. Cover, and cook for 45 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
  • Stir well, season with pepper and more salt, if needed, and serve immediately.
