ONION BARLEY CASSEROLE
MY HUSBAND and I grew up on plain hearty foods, and we both learned early on that simple food, well prepared, maintains good health. I always felt I was giving my family the best when I prepared this dish. They loved the nutty flavor and chewy texture of the barley, and it was a delicious departure from rice as a side dish.-Elaine Kremenak Grants Pass, Oregon

- Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions Properly: Sauté the mushrooms and onions over medium-high heat until they are browned and slightly caramelized. This will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
- Use a Good Quality Vegetable Broth: The vegetable broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Season to Taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
