Nutty Barley Bake
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours
YIELD: 6 servings.
When I started bringing this distinctive dish to holiday dinners, a lot of people had never seen barley in anything but soup. They have since dubbed me "the barley lady", and now I wouldn't dare bring anything this dish. Even if I double the recipe, I come home with an empty pan.
