Barley with Mushrooms, Red Pepper, and Caramelized Onions

[Guest guest]

This was based on a recipe I found on epicurious.com .

 

2 cups pearl barley

2 cups vegetable broth

2 cups water

3 onions, diced

1 red pepper, diced

8 oz. mushrooms, sliced

olive oil

soy sauce to taste

 

cover bottom of saucepan with olive oil; heat over high heat. Add onions,

stirring

regularly, for approximately 10 minutes or until nicely browned. Add barley,

stir for 3-5

minutes until lightly toasted. Add broth, water, red pepper, mushrooms. Cover

and

simmer for 45 minutes or so until barley is done. Season with soy sauce.

 

My partner (who's not a vegetarian) loved this, and so did I.
