Barley Shiitake And Spinach Pilaf
I found this in a very old vegetarian times magazine. I really like barley, but most barley recipes are for soup. I think this is a nice departure.
Steps
Add the barley and water to a medium saucepan.
Cover and simmer over low heat for approximately 1 hour.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat.
Add both types of oil and saute the onions , stirring occasionally , until brown.
Add garlic and mushrooms.
Saute for approximately 3 minutes.
Add spinach , cooked barley , and sesame seeds.
Saute for 5 minutes , or until barley is heated through.
Season with tamari and cayenne.
Ingredients
