Tips:
- Choose the right rice and barley: For the best texture and flavor, use a long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine, and a hulled barley like pearl barley.
- Soak the barley: Soaking the barley overnight or for at least 4 hours will help to reduce the cooking time and make it more tender.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice and barley from sticking.
- Don't overcook the rice and barley: Overcooked rice and barley will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. Cook it just until it is tender, but still has a slight bite to it.
- Add vegetables and other ingredients to your liking: Feel free to add vegetables, herbs, spices, or other ingredients to your mixed rice and barley bake to customize it to your taste.
