  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a 3-quart casserole dish.
  5. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet. Add 1 cup barley and 1 cup long-grain rice.
  6. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until grains are lightly golden brown.

  8. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  9. Cover the casserole dish and bake for approximately 2 hours, or until the barley is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
