Time 2h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 ounces button mushrooms
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms (dried)
4 ounces cremini mushrooms (dried)
4 ounces porcini mushrooms (dried)
2 cups boiling water
1 sprig thyme (fresh)
1 bay leaf
1 cup barley
8 cups vegetable stock (beef stock may be used also)
1 cup red wine
1/4 cup carrot (finely diced)
1/4 cup celery (finely diced)
1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
3/4 cup onion (finely diced)

Steps:

  • Chunk chop your fresh button mushrooms.
  • In a food processor place your dried mushrooms and pulse until you acquire a small chop look - make sure to sweep up all the powder that has come up the sides of the processor - place in a bowl cover with 2 cups boiling water allow 30 minutes for mushrooms to absorb water. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place a small plate on top to push down the mushrooms.
  • In a medium pot add 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil - come to medium high heat - add onions, garlic, celery, carrot and sweat for 5 to 10 minutes add button mushrooms and brown slightly.
  • Add your soaking mushrooms, water and all. Add barley cover with vegetable stock, add bay leaf and thyme. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hours Check for fluid levels - if it appears you need more fluids add a cup of water. Season with salt and pepper to your taste (I use kosher salt and 1 tsp fresh ground pepper).
  • Stir occasionally and add wine cook for 10 minutes after adding wine. Serve with a nice side salad - thick slice of bread and a glass of the red wine -- Enjoy.
