Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 cup pearl barley, rinsed
  • 2 tbsp sherry
  • 170 g pkg shiitake mushrooms, about 2 cups sliced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 170 g pkg enoki or beech mushrooms, about 1 1/2 cups trimmed
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Add to grocery list
  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium. Add olive oil, then shallot. Cook until it starts to soften, about 1 min. Add barley and stir until glossy, about 1 min. Add sherry and stir often until barley has absorbed all of the liquid, about 1 min. Add shiitakes and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until barley is tender, 18 to 20 min.
  2. Separate enokis and stir into pilaf. Cook for 2 more min. Stir in parmesan and season with pepper. Garnish with thyme.
  • Wine Pairings:

    Give this comforting Creamy Mushroom & Barley Pilaf the edge it deserves with a play of friendly opposites from a juicy pinot noir. Ripe cherry heightens and brightens earthy shiitake mushrooms and barley, and Cono Sur winemakers never fail to bring a bargain to the bottle.
    Cono Sur Pinot Noir, Chile, $11.

  • Prep Tip:

    Discard stems from shiitakes. Wipe caps clean with a damp paper towel.
