How to Make Barley With Mushrooms Scotland

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms and 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a 1 ½-quart ungreased casserole dish, combine the cooked mushrooms and onions with 1 cup of pearl barley, 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  5. Cover the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Stir halfway through cooking.
  6. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
