Barley with Mushrooms and Browned Onions image

Categories     Salad     Mushroom     Onion     Barley     Summer     Winter     Simmer

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup pearl or pot barley
1 1/2 tablespoons light olive oil
2 large onions, quartered and thinly sliced
8 to 10 ounces cremini, baby bella, or white mushrooms
2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water (3 cups if using pearl barley; 3 1/2 cups for pot barley) to a rapid simmer in a medium saucepan and stir in the barley. Cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, 35 to 40 minutes. Taste, and if you'd like a little more tender texture, add another 1/2 cup water and simmer until absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide skillet. Add the onions and sauté slowly over low heat until lightly and evenly browned.
  • Add the mushrooms and about 1/4 cup water. Cover and cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are wilted, about 8 minutes.
  • Combine the onion and mushroom mixture with the cooked barley in a serving container. Stir in the dill, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
  • barley
  • Barley, one of the most ancient of cultivated grains, is most commonly available in the pearl variety, the kind sold in supermarkets. Searching a bit further afield, you might find pot barley in natural foods stores and food co-ops. The latter is less refined, retaining more of the natural fiber and bran. Both kinds are mild tasting, pleasantly chewy, and versatile. Basic cooking directions are above (Step 1).
  • Barley is a favorite soup grain. Add uncooked barley to long-simmering winter soups (such as Split Pea and Barley Soup, page 25) for extra heartiness. Add cooked barley to cold summer soups (such as Cold Potato-Barley Buttermilk Soup, page 14) for a wonderful texture.
  • Think of barley as a change of pace from rice in pilafs and casseroles.
  • Barley is delicious as a base for marinated grain salads (see Barley or Rice and Corn Salad, page 46).

COLD POTATO-BARLEY BUTTERMILK SOUP



Cold Potato-Barley Buttermilk Soup image

Potatoes, barley, and buttermilk are a trio that I find blissfully refreshing in the summer, served cold in a soup.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium-large potatoes
2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths (or frozen cut green beans, thawed)
1/2 cups cooked barley (from 1/2 cup raw; see Basic Cooked Barley, page 101)
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes and cut into approximately 4-inch dice. Cover with water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the potatoes are about half done, about 10 minutes. Add the green beans and cook until both are tender but not overdone, about 10 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, but do not drain.
  • Let the potato-green bean mixture stand, uncovered, until it is at room temperature, then add the remaining ingredients. Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate until chilled, if desired.
  • Mid- to late summer is our brief chance to grab what we can of sun, sand, and-soup. Okay, so soup might not be something that springs immediately to mind when you think of summer pleasures, but I find few things more refreshing on a warm summer day than a bowl of cold soup.
  • To round out a meal of cold soup, add a substantial salad, a good bread, and if you'd like, some fresh corn on the cob. These cool, flavorful elixirs whet the wilted appetite like nothing else can!
