Powerhouse Barley Pilaf

 

Recipe By :Jay Solomon

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Grains & Pasta {Posted}

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 medium yellow onion -- diced

1 red bell pepper -- seeded, diced

8 ounces white mushrooms -- chopped

4 garlic cloves -- minced

1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

4 cups water

1/2 cup pearl barley

1/4 cup wild rice

1/4 cup green lentils -- rinsed

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

1. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell

pepper, mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 6 minutes. Stir in

the curry powder and cook, stirring for 1 minute.

 

2. Stir in the water, barley, wild rice, lentils and pepper and bring to a

simmer over medium high heat. Cover and cook over medium low heat until all of

the liquid is absorbed, 40 to 45 minutes (stir the grains every 10 minutes or

so).

 

3. Remove from the heat, fluff the grains, and stir in the salt. Let stand for 5

to 10 minutes before serving.

 

 

TIP: The recipe works because wild rice, pearl barley and green lentils take

about the same amount of time to cook: 35 to 45 minutes.

Hi- I had to wrote to everyone on this one- especially Pat. Pat and I seem

to like similar recipes! it figures you'd post this! )

 

I make this one ALL the time- and I LOVE the book it is from. I am not

vegan- but this ia great vegan cookbook.

 

In my opinion this can serve about 6- as long as you are not serving 6

piggies like my fiance and i are! haha

 

Anyway- this is great for a snow day, or to bring to a party.. I brought it

to a neighbor's house " get together " and all the guys ( carnivorous)

actually LOVED it- and I had to pass out the recipe.

 

TIP: I use low sodium veg broth instead of water- more flavor, and it is

pretty darn spicy with the amount of curry it calls for.. It's just right

for me- but if you are cooking for more tender tadtebuds- lower that for

sure! and if you just can't stand that it is vegan- top it with shredded

cheddar cheese- I just tried that- it's awesome.

You can also stuff the left overs into a pita pocket for lunch! )

 

anyway- i like to let you all know when something is tried and true- this

one is a keeper. )
