This was awesome! It tasted great and it was actually beautiful to look at when it came out of the oven.

I thought this was good but my husband and toddler LOVED this soo much. It is very easy to make and healthy. I used 3 tbsp of butter and that was plenty. Thanks for the recipe Kat.

This is a great recipe. I've made it several time since I found it a few months ago. The only change I make is that I saute the onions until they are a little browned before I add the barley and pine nuts. I like it better when the onions are browned.

This is really good. I forgot to buy 2 cans of broth, so I used 1 can broth and 1 can water. Turned out just as tasty.

This did not turn out well. I followed the directions, except I used 32 ounces of vegetable broth instead of 29 (because I had container of 32 and didn't know what I'd do with 3 measly extra ounces). When I baked it, I checked on it after 55 minutes (recipe says bake for 1 hour 15 minutes) and the liquid was already absorbed and the edges were blackening. The taste was pretty flavorless: I couldn't taste the onions, most of the pine nuts were overcooked (although some were decent), and the mushrooms, while good, were few and far between. Maybe it'll work if I bake it shorter or at a lower temperature or in a taller thinner baking dish, but I will not try again.

Yum! I thought this would be similar to rice pilaf, but it was really more like a risotto...very creamy! I may have used a little extra broth (it was chicken instead of veg). I wasn't sure whether to cook covered or not...so I didn't cover it. I kept testing it starting at 75 minutes, and it didn't seem to get any more done after about 90 minutes, so it seems pretty forgiving re: time. Also I didn't have parsley, so I added a pinch or two of dried thyme, which went well w/ the earthy-tasting mushrooms and onions.

Really great recipe, and easy, too! I added 1 small green zucchini and some green pepper, it was excellent. This will definitely end up in my regular rotation. Thanks, Kat!

I made this for a potluck as a vegan dish and everyone (even the meat-eaters) loved it! I used portabello mushrooms to dress it up a bit, and also added some carrots I wanted to use up. There was still some liquid in it when I pulled it out of the oven, but it all absorbed in the car ride across town. We will definitely be having this again at home! I'm upping my rating to five stars on this one. This is a recipe that we come back to over and over again. Sometimes we add meat and some more veggies to it to make it into a one-dish casserole, and other times we have it as a side. It's always tasty and pretty easy to make. We love Barley Bake!

This was just ordinary. I probably could add something like garlic and some kind of sausage to make it better but I am not sure I will try it again.

This was delicious. Due to nut allergies, I replaced the pine nuts with diced carrots, and for more flavour, I used beef broth instead of vegetable broth. It made a beautiful sidedish for the brisket I made, and aside from the kids, everyone loved it. A healthier and better alternative to rice, and I'll be making this often.

Since finding this recipe I have made it several times and we just love it. Even my picky toddler likes it. I only use about 2 TBS butter and sometimes use chicken broth instead but it still comes out perfect. I notice others said they cover it but I never cover it and it cooks up perfect every time!

I love this recipe, but no one else that I have made it for does. However, I am giving the rating. So there. I think this is a healthy, unique substitute for a starch side dish that is full of flavor and texture. I'll make it whenever my husband isn't home.

Really, really good! My husband and I really enjoyed this. Be careful not to leave it covered in the oven for too long or you'll end up with barley soup instead! The pine nuts are great in this!

This is really terrific! I just made it for a pork roast side dish and it went nicely. I followed the directions exactly (except to use chicken broth and a whole 10 oz. package of mushrooms) and mine needed to bake an extra 15 minutes for almost all of the broth to be absorbed. If you like barley, you just HAVE to try this.

What an incredibly tasty and easy recipe. I used 2 TB butter + 2 TB olive oil, 6 oz sliced baby bella (next time will add all 8 oz), 2 stalks celery, 1 cup diced red pepper. Baked for about 1 hr 10 minutes in 375 oven (UNcovered for last 10 min of cooking). It was so scrumptious - my husband really enjoyed it too. We had a veggie dinner last night with Barley bake, sauteed mustard greens, and toasted oat bran pita stuffed with kosher salt&peppered avocado slices - I might've met my fiber quota for the week :) This made plenty of leftovers for the 2 of us today and is perfect for Lent season. Thanks for sharing!

As a vegetarian trying to cut out all animal products- I thought this recipe was delicious. I haven't cooked much with grains but thought I'd give this recipe a try based on how good others said it was. It reminded me of a mushroom risotto (just not as creamy) but yummy just the same. I used olive oil instead of butter (and would half that amount next time), added a few chopped carrots, and doubled the mushrooms. An awesome recipe!
