recipe: Barley, Onion & Carrot Pilaf

[Guest guest]

Okay this is my first time sharing a recipe so I hope I have not broken any

group rules / procedures. I made this last week and it was really good and

simple so I thought I would share!

 

2 tbsp margarine / margarine substitute

2 tbsp salad oil

2 large onions, thinly sliced

4 ounces small mushrooms, quartered

1.5 cups pearl barley, rinced and drained

2 medium carrots

1/2 tsp thyme

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

3.25 cups vegetable broth

 

Heat margarine and oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and

mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until lightly browned (8-10 min)

 

Mix in barley and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted (3 min)

 

Add carrots, thyme, garlic, and broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover,

and simmer until liquid is absorbed and barley is tender to bite (45 min)

 

Season to taste with salt & pepper, sprinkle with parsley. Makes 6 servings.

 

I baked acorn squash halfs and mounded the barley mixture into it, the sweet

taste of the squash really complimented the pilaf. I got this from the

Complete Vegetarian Cookbook from Sunset Books / Sunset Magazine. I

recommend it, lots of great recipes! :-D
