Prep Time: 20 minutes, Serves 4
1 cup barley, uncooked
2 cups organic mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup organic onion, diced
1/2 cup organic celery, diced
2 Tbsp. butter
3 cups water
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts, toasted
1. Heat a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and once it begins to sizzle, add the onions and cook 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add the mushrooms and celery for 3-5 more minutes.
2. Add the barley, marjoram, pepper and salt. Toast the barley in the pan for a few more minutes (be sure not to burn). Add the water and bring to a simmer. Cover and let cook over low heat for 40-50 minutes until all of the water has been absorbed.
3. Once cooked, remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
4. Fluff with a fork and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
