My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. I followed the recipe exactly and found that it has a great unique taste and texture. I think I'll be making this regularly!

GREAT! I followed others' suggestions to use different mushrooms (I used porcini and crimini). I omitted the celery for personal taste. For the beans I used half red kidney and half butter beans. This meal reminded me of a mushroom risotto so I added some parmasan cheese and WOW the flavor was fantastic. The whole family enjoyed it for Christmas. Thanks!

This recipe was super easy and full of flavor. I didn't have celery so replaced with red pepper and used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. I loved it and will definately make again.

Way too bland for our tastes. I won't make this again, not with better recipes available. Easy to make however.

i made this recipe, both with and without celery and without is the way to go. It made the dish more consistant and delicious. If you double recipe, add one can red and one can white kidney beans. It makes the dish more appealing.

I tweaked this recipe a little. I added carrots and an onion. Also, I put it all in the crock pot for 5hrs on high and it was perfect!

Love it! I followed many of the other suggestions. I cooked the barley first in chicken broth istead of veggie broth. Then I set it aside and cooked the veggies and substitued water chesnuts for celery. Once the veggies were done and I added them to the barley at the same time as the white beans. Then I let them all warm up together and added some salt and pepper. It was enjoyed by everyone at our table!

This is an awesome recipe. I will sometimes add more vegetable broth than called for and let it simmer down longer for even more flavor. My husband can't get enough of this one. Great veggie recipe.

This was nice and hearty. I made it with dried red lentils instead of beans, and it added a nice texture. I also added sea salt and pepper. I'll try it next time with the white beans.

Wonderful taste and easy to make. I added more veggie broth and made a soup out of it. Turned out great and my family loved it. Next time I will use the amount of broth indicated in the recipe and see how we all like it.

DELICIOUS! I had beech mushrooms fresh from the farmer’s market and was looking for a healthy dish for them. Most of the mushroom recipes on here include meat or are filled with cream soup/cheeses. I added a diced sweet potato, sauteeing it a bit first, and then followed the recipe as written. I did use quick cooking barley and cut the broth to 1 cup to accommodate. And I salted and peppered and added some cayenne for a bit of heat. Don’t overcook the veggy base, though: it can become too mushy if you do. Thanks for a great healthy dinner!

Barley plus mushrooms equals tasty delicious. I sauteed all the ingredients on the stove and then transferred everything to a baking dish and cooked it the rest of the way in the oven so I didn't have to keep watching and stirring. I cooked it for an hour and fifteen minutes at 375 degrees and it came out perfectly.

Very good. I did things a little out of order and it turned out great. First I sauteed onions and garlic, then added the shrooms. After that cooked I took it off the heat and did the rest. At the very last minute I added the veggies with fresh spinach to the barley mixture. That way nothing was overcooked. I chopped up tomatoes and cheese and served it all in whole wheat tortillas. Very tasty and so healthy!

Loved this recipe. Even my meat loving dinner guests enjoyed this. I am always looking for new whole grain dishes that don't taste like they are just healthy but not delicious!

I find this recipe to be hit-or-miss. Sometimes I make it and it tastes wonderful, and other times it is quite bland. Perhaps that has to do with what kind of mushrooms I use or how fresh they are. I use quick-cooking barley because that's all I could find at the store, and I highly recommend it. It only takes 10 minutes to cook. I think if I did cook it for as long as you would need to cook regular barley, the vegetables would be far too mushy for my taste. I use vegetable boullion cubes for the broth, and I usually make it stronger than the boullion is supposed to be, which gives the dish more flavor.
