How To Make herbed barley casserole

  • Step 1
    Saute onion and celery in butter. Add pearl barley, brown slightly and stir until all grains are coated.
  • Step 2
    Transfer mixture to a buttered casserole that will accommodate double the barley's raw volume. Pour 2 cups broth over the mixture and bake, covered at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Add parsley and mix through. Add remaining broth, sprinkle nuts on top and bake for 30 minutes, uncovered, mixing occasionally.
