PEARL BARLEY CASSEROLE



Pearl Barley Casserole image

This is a very tasty way to serve a very healthy grain that is often overlooked. I never use the mushrooms as I don't care for them and often add chopped carrots, red pepper, or grated zucchini.

VEGETARIAN BARLEY CASSEROLE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND BASIL PESTO



Vegetarian Barley Casserole with Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Pesto image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 cups vegetable broth
1/8 cup canola oil
1 small onion, minced
1 1/2 cups pearl barley, about 1 pound (or use Arborio rice for a gluten-free dish)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup (about 2 ounces) crumbled goat cheese
2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
1/2 cup pine nuts, roasted
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (from a jar, or if dehydrated soaked in warm water)
6 sprigs fresh basil

Steps:

  • For the risotto:
  • Bring vegetable broth to a simmer. In a separate large saucepan on an adjacent burner, heat the oil and saute onion until it is translucent. Add barley (or rice) and lightly saute to toast the barley. Add wine and stir for about 2 minutes until it is absorbed. Begin slowly adding broth, 1 ladle-full at a time, to the barley pan, stirring as you go. The friction of the stirring will bring out the starch in the barley. As the mixture absorbs the broth, ladle more into the pot. When all of the broth has been ladled into the barley pot, slowly simmer until barley is soft and creamy. Stir in ricotta to add creaminess, then crumble in goat cheese (to add cohesiveness), stir, cover and set aside.
  • For the pesto:
  • Place basil in food processor, add pine nuts and garlic, and pulse until chopped. Scrape into a bowl, add Parmesan and stir in oil to form a thick smooth paste. Add black pepper, to taste.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread half of the barley (or rice) mixture over the bottom of a lasagna dish or large casserole. Top with half of the sun-dried tomatoes and then with half of the basil pesto. Repeat for a second layer. Bake covered with foil for 25 minutes, then remove foil and continue to bake for 5 minutes to let top layer of pesto become toasted. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Serve garnished with fresh basil sprigs.

CREAMY BARLEY WITH PEAS AND CHIVES



Creamy Barley With Peas and Chives image

This is a delicious meal that is very similar to a risotto. It is particularly good in the summer when fresh ingredients are readily available. It's an old recipe that I've tweaked as I've made it. For a non-alcoholic version, simply use 4 1/2 cups (2 pints, 1.2 litres) of stock. Serves 3-4 as a main meal, more if used as a side dish.

Categories     Grains

Time 55m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 cup raw pearl barley
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup frozen peas (use fresh if you can)
1/2 cup light cream cheese
1 small bunch fresh chives, chopped (1 1/2 tablespoons once chopped)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet, then add the onion and cook gently for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the pearl barley and continue to cook, stirring, for a few minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and simmer until it is absorbed.
  • Pour in the stock a quarter at a time and simmer until the stock is absorbed before adding more. It should take 45 minutes or so for all the stock to be absorbed.
