How to Make Barley Bake
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 1 cup pearled barley to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the barley mixture into a 2-quart buttered casserole dish. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro and 2 cups of chicken broth.
- Cover the casserole dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the liquid is absorbed. If the barley seems dry before the liquid is absorbed, add 1/2 cup more broth during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
