How to Make Rice And Barley Side

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 cup of brown rice and 1/2 cup of barley. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Add 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed consommé soup, 1 1/2 cups of water, and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the pot.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the rice and barley are tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir halfway through.
  4. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
