Barley & Rice Pilaf from Company's Coming image

This is an amazing recipe. Not only is it great as a side dish, it's terrific all on its own. Feel free to change up the vegetables. Because of my love for onions.....I tend to cut them into large chunks. This makes a large amount, but I usually cut it in half. Freezes well too! Slightly different from others already posted.

Yield 9 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 cups pearl barley
1 cup long grain brown rice, white works well too
6 cups boiling water
1 cup carrot, julienne
3 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder, I use liquid
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.
  • Add celery, onion and garlic and cook for 5 - 10 minutes or until the onion has softened to your liking -- or not :).
  • Transfer to a 3 quart casserole dish.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the same frying pan, and add the barley and rice.
  • Heat and stir for about 5 minutes, or until the grains start to turn golden brown.
  • Add this to the onion mixture, along with the water, carrots, bouillon, parsley and pepper. Stir well.
  • Bake, covered, for about 2 hours or until the barley is tender and liquid absorbed.
