  • 1 cup uncooked pearl barley

  • ½ cup pine nuts

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms

  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley

  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans vegetable broth


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Melt butter 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.

You can use a can of chicken or beef broth and a can of water for a different flavor, instead of vegetable broth.
