Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, chopped
  • 1 cup pearl barley
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cups chicken broth

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Melt butter in a 1 ½-quart Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium heat. Add onion; cook until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add celery; cook and stir until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in barley until coated with butter. Stir in mushrooms and bell pepper; season with salt and black pepper. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil. Cover Dutch oven.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until barley is nearly tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover Dutch oven; continue baking until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes more. Taste; adjust seasonings before serving.
