Savory Barley Casserole
(Double amounts for a 9x13 dish)
1 cup barley
cup butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
4 green onions, thinly sliced including
green stems
1 cup almonds, sliced
1 Tbsp Scampi Blend
1 tsp Wildtree Java Rub
2 cups chicken broth
2 Tbsp cooking sherry (optional) if not
using, add 2 more Tbsp water
PLAN AHEAD when preparing this dish it bakes a long timeso if you are also baking a
main dish, the timing can be tricky, or having enough room in the oven can be an issue. If
you cant fit both main dish and barley casserole in oven, we would suggest cooking barley
first, (or even a day ahead) then setting aside when baking main dish. This casserole is
easily re-heated, in oven or microwave (Its one of those recipes that tastes even better as
leftovers!)
**In lg. skillet, brown barley in butter on med. heat for about 3 minutes (until barley starts
turning golden brown). Add mushrooms, almonds, and green onions and cook one more
minute. Pour into a greased casserole dish and add other ingredients. Bake (covered) at
350 for 1 hours, stirring once or twice while cooking.
