Barley Mushroom Parmesan Bake

Make certain to use only pearl barley for this. This can also be made on top of the stove. The mixture will thicken even more upon standing or refrigeration. My family loves this dish, it's a nice change from rice, hope you enjoy also! Add in the saffron, it really makes a difference in taste!

Steps

In a dutch oven melt the butter over medium heat.
Add in the onion , thyme , chili flakes , bell pepper and saffron cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the onions are lightly browned.
Add in the rinsed barley and saute for about 5 minutes , mixing with a wooden spoon.
Carefully add in the broth and season with seasoned salt and black pepper.
Mix to combine.
Bring to a simmer , and boil lightly for 10 minutes on top of stove.
Set oven to 350 degrees.
After 10 minutes of simmering on top of the stove , cover and place in the oven.
Cook for about 45 minutes , or until the barley is at desired tenderness , if you prefer a softer barley , then cook for a longer time.
Add in parmesan cheese and mix until the cheese has melted.
Delicious !.
