CHICKPEA AND VEGETABLE BARLEY BAKE



Chickpea and Vegetable Barley Bake image

Barley has to be my best food discovery of last year. It is really cheap and a little bit goes a long way in a dish because it really bulks out during cooking. Not to mention how healthy it is for you. This is my latest barley creation. You could have it as a side dish but I just split it between myself and my finance and it made a very filling meal for two.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup pearl barley
1 onion, quartered and then sliced
1 cup carrot, sliced
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup mushroom, sliced
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon white pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Put pearl barley in an oven proof casserole dish.
  • Saute the onions, carrots and celery in a little bit of oil (or use a cooking spray, I do) until the onions are tender.
  • Add to the casserole dish and give it a stir to mix in with the pearl barley.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and give another stir.
  • Cover and bake in the oven for about an hour. Keep checking every 25 minutes or so just to make sure it isn't going dry. It is ready when the barley has bulked up and gone tender from absorbing the liquid.

1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons ground ginger

2 1/2 to 3 cups water
For fried almonds
1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup whole blanched almonds (4 ounces)
Accompaniment: "epi:recipeLink id="238426">honeyed red-onion confit
Special Equipment
a couscoussière

Steps:

  • Cook chickpeas:
  • Soak dried chickpeas in 3 cups water at least 8 hours and up to 24.
  • Drain soaked chickpeas and combine with 6 cups cold water in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
  • Make broth while chickpeas cook:
  • Lightly toast saffron in a dry small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, shaking skillet, just until fragrant, about 1 minute, then transfer to a small dish.
  • Halve tomatoes and grate flesh on large round holes of a box grater, discarding skin.
  • Put oil, grated tomato, onions, pepper, ginger, salt, tomato paste, and saffron in lower portion of couscoussière (or in 5- to 6-quart pot) and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add water and ras-el-hanout and bring broth to a simmer.
  • Make couscous:
  • While broth comes to a simmer, put couscous in a large wide bowl and toss with salt, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, rubbing grains between your palms to distribute oil. Sprinkle couscous with 1 cup tepid water, rubbing to evenly distribute and breaking up any lumps. Sprinkle top portion of couscoussière (if using a colander or steamer, line with cheesecloth) with couscous in an even, loose layer without packing.
  • Set couscous over simmering broth and steam, uncovered, until steam rises up evenly over surface of couscous, about 10 minutes. Transfer couscous to cleaned bowl (reserving cheesecloth if using).
  • Let stand until cool enough to handle, then sprinkle with 1 cup water again and gently rub couscous between palms. Let couscous stand 10 minutes.
  • While couscous stands, add carrots and turnips to broth in couscoussière and return to a simmer.
  • Return couscous to top of couscoussière and steam a second time, uncovered, in same manner, until steam rises evenly over surface, then transfer to bowl again (reserving cheesecloth). Stir just enough water (1/2 to 3/4 cup) into couscous to make it come together when a squeezed handful holds its shape without cracking. Let couscous stand, uncovered, 10 minutes.
  • While couscous stands, add zucchini, cabbage, and butternut squash to broth and cook, covered, until vegetables are almost tender, then add cooked chickpeas.
  • Rub remaining 2 tablespoons oil into couscous, then transfer to top of couscoussière and steam couscous a third time in same manner as above.
  • Fry almonds during third steaming:
  • Heat oil in a 7- to 8-inch skillet over moderate heat until just hot and cook almonds, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • To serve:
  • Gently stir 1/2 teaspoon harissa into broth and serve couscous with vegetables, broth, fried almonds, honeyed red-onion confit, and harissa.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked barley or soak the barley overnight before cooking.
  • For a more flavorful dish, roast the vegetables before adding them to the casserole.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the casserole, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
  • If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use water instead.
  • Serve the casserole with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.

Conclusion:

This chickpea and vegetable barley bake is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. The casserole is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chickpea and vegetable barley bake a try.
