Mushroom And Barley Stew Recipes

BEEF MUSHROOM BARLEY SOUP

Steps:

• Cook beef stew meat in a large skillet over medium heat until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes; transfer to a large soup pot.
• Heat vegetable oil in the same skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, and carrot in the hot oil until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetable mixture to the beef in the pot.
• Pour beef stock into the pot.
• Stir pearl barley into the stock.
• Place soup over medium-low heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is completely tender, about 2 hours.
• Stir mushrooms through the soup; cook 1 hour more.

BEEF AND BARLEY STEW

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season steak with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to the stockpot and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 6-8 minutes; set aside. Add onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the stockpot. Stir in beef stock, barley, thyme, bay leaf and steak. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until barley is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove and discard thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Stir in parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste.* Serve immediately.

MUSHROOM BARLEY

Steps:

• Cook 2 sliced onions in 2 tablespoons olive oil until caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Saute 3/4 pound sliced cremini mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter. Cook 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking barley in chicken broth as the label directs, then toss with the mushrooms, onions, some dill and salt.

VEGAN ROASTED GARLIC MUSHROOM AND BARLEY STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the top off the bulb of garlic, exposing the tops of all the garlic cloves. Place the bulb of garlic on to a sheet pan. Drizzle the top with about 2 teaspoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Roast the garlic at 400 degrees for about 30-40 minutes, until the garlic is very soft and very brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• While the garlic is roasting, cut the mushrooms into large chunks, I usually quarter mine. Then chop the carrots.
• When the garlic is close to being ready, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot on medium high.
• Then add the mushrooms and carrots, saute, reducing heat as needed, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are starting to brown. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Next, when the garlic is ready, squeeze all of the roasted garlic cloves out of the peel and into the pot with the mushrooms and carrots. Stir to combine.
• Now, pour the vegetable broth, soy sauce and apple cider vinegar into the pot. Stir to combine. Then add the dried thyme and dried rosemary.
• Bring the stew to a simmer, then pour the barley into the pot. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to simmer on medium low until the barley is cooked. Check the package for timing. I like to use parboiled barley, which only takes 10-15 minutes, but regular barley takes about 30-45 minutes.
• Once the barley is soft, taste the stew and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately with fresh herbs on top if you want.

CARROT-MUSHROOM-BARLEY STEW

Steps:

• Bring the carrot juice, 3 cups water and the mushroom stems to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom caps and barley and cook until the barley is toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Add the onion, celery and rosemary to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and cook 2 more minutes.
• Increase the heat to high and add half of the carrot juice mixture, leaving the mushroom stems in the pan. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is almost absorbed, about 6 minutes.
• Add the remaining carrot juice mixture, the kale and ginger and cook, stirring, until the barley and vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then ladle the stew into bowls.

MUSHROOM BARLEY STEW

Steps:

• Boil the broth. Once it's boiling, add the barley.
• While the barley cooks, slice the mushrooms. And saute them in oil. (trying to get them to release as much juice as possible).
• While the barley and mushrooms cook, chop the kale.
• Then, take the flour, and the same amount of broth and whisk them together, and add it to the soup. (It will thicken more later).
• By the time the mushrooms are cooked, and the kale is chopped, the barley should be a little more than half done, add the mushrooms and onions, and stir occasionally.
• Once the barley is almost cooked through, add the kale, and pepper.
• Wait a few minutes stirring occasionally, and enjoy!

VEGAN STEW WITH ALE & PEARL BARLEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large casserole or deep frying pan.
• Peel the onion and slice into thick rings. Fry gently for a few minutes until softened.
• Cut the mushrooms into large chunks, and add them to the pan, followed by the peeled and crushed garlic cloves.
• Add the flour to the pan, stir to coat everything so no lumps remain.
• Add the ale, vegetable stock, tomato purée, brown sugar, cider vinegar and thyme. Bring to the boil then reduce to a gentle simmer. Wash the pearl barley well, drain and add to the pan.
• Peel the carrots, slice vertically then into large chunks. Cut the potatoes into quarters or thick slices. Add them to the pan, bring it back to the boil and then reduce again to a simmer.
