Cooking with
Whole Grains


Check out the Chicken w/ Wild Rice recipe. Even vegetarians might like the dish (minus the chicken). The Wild Rice, seasoned with thyme and sauteed onion, carrots for color, and walnuts for texture, makes a great side dish!







Barley Mushroom Soup



these are the keywords I'm targeting 

This is one of those simple recipes I love. Yes, the barley does take awhile to cook, but it's minimal effort for the chef. The healthy, whole-grain barley has a meaty texture which holds up to a lot of simmering; it doesn't soak up moisture like rice or pasta does. Makes 6-8 servings.


Ingredients:

  • 1 c. barley (not pearled but whole grain, if possible)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1-2 qt. water
  • 1/2 lb. mushrooms
  • 1 TBS. fresh, chopped rosemary
  • 1 TBS. fresh, chopped garlic
  • 28 oz. can tomatoes
  • 2 TBS. fresh, chopped parsley
  • Optional: Jack or Cheddar cheese


Boil, then let simmer 2 hours or more: > 1 c. barley > 2 bay leaves > 1-2 qt. water

Grill in some olive oil: > 1/2 lb. mushrooms

To cooked barley, add: > Grilled mushrooms > 1 TBS. fresh, chopped rosemary > 1 TBS. fresh, chopped garlic > 28 oz. can tomatoes > 2 TBS. fresh, chopped parsley > more water if needed, for right consistency


Ready to eat! We sometimes add some cubed Jack or Cheddar cheese just before serving.
