Quick, easy, and by far my favorite barley recipe I’ve ever made. So simple I’m going to make it for family and lie and say I just came up with it off hand! Thanks ya!!
This turned out very good. I made to go with grilled chicken thighs.
Good recipe. Substituted fresh thyme for the dill.
I love dill, but it was weird with this dish. I would make it again but omit the dill.
I made this with the quick cooking barley that I bought awhile ago when I could not find regular barley. I made the recipe as written but without the herbs ….did use minced garlic…..this was really good….cooked the barley in beef broth made with Better than Bouillon. This is a great side dish….very flavorful. Don’t use any extra salt as the Bouillon is salty enough….I will make this again.
Very good recipe. I substituted tomato sauce for the dill and I used linguine pasta instead of barley. Sprinkle Parmigiano Reggiano for garnish.
Ok
My family really enjoyed this. I think the recipe would probably be good as written but I cooked a cup of barley instead of 1.5 cups (I cooked it in 3 cups of water for around 40 minutes with 1.5 bouillon cubes). I also used regular white mushrooms since that’s what I had on hand. I sauteed them in olive oil instead of butter since my husband does not like butter. Finally, I used different spices: rosemary, thyme, parsley and basil instead of dill since I have those growing in my garden. And I added paprika, a bay leaf, 3 whole cloves and garlic powder. It was great. My 5-year old daughter loved it and chose it over the main dish.
It’s five stars if you add garlic and soy sauce 😀 I was kind of suspicious about the dill so I didn’t add that either.
Very good. I substituted one of the onions with fennel.
