BEEF-AND-BARLEY BURGERS
Whole grains and veggies are the focus in this mostly-meatless patty, but not to worry-ground beef still plays a familiar and satisfying role. To ensure they had a flavor that would be as beefy as ever, we turned the volume up by adding a little soy sauce to the mixture and topped it all off with a shmear of creamy Dijonnaise.

Tips:
- Soak the barley: Soaking the barley overnight helps to soften it and reduce the cooking time. You can also quick-soak the barley by boiling it for 1 minute, then removing it from the heat and letting it sit for 30 minutes.
- Use a food processor: A food processor makes it easy to grind the barley and other ingredients into a smooth mixture. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender or a mortar and pestle.
- Add flavorings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavorings to find the perfect combination for your barley burgers. Some popular options include garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
- Cook the burgers thoroughly: Barley burgers should be cooked through to ensure that they are safe to eat. The best way to check if they are cooked is to use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of the burgers should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Barley burgers can be served with a variety of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and ketchup. You can also get creative and try different sauces, such as barbecue sauce or tzatziki sauce.
