Easy and good dish for potlucks. The pine nuts make all the difference! The mushrooms are optional. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Barley with pine nuts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 1 cup uncooked pearl barley
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 14.5 ounce cans vegetable broth
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, barley, and pine nuts. Cook and stir until barley is lightly browned. Mix in green onions, mushrooms, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 2 quart casserole dish, and stir in the vegetable broth.
- Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until liquid has been absorbed and barley is tender.
You can use a can of chicken or beef broth and a can of water for a different flavor, instead of vegetable broth.
