Chickpea And Vegetable Barley Bake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, barley, and pine nuts. Cook and stir until barley is lightly browned. Mix in green onions, mushrooms, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 2 quart casserole dish, and stir in the vegetable broth.
• Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until liquid has been absorbed and barley is tender.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
• Put pearl barley in an oven proof casserole dish.
• Saute the onions, carrots and celery in a little bit of oil (or use a cooking spray, I do) until the onions are tender.
• Add to the casserole dish and give it a stir to mix in with the pearl barley.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and give another stir.
• Cover and bake in the oven for about an hour. Keep checking every 25 minutes or so just to make sure it isn't going dry. It is ready when the barley has bulked up and gone tender from absorbing the liquid.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Bring a stockpot of salted water to a boil. Add the barley, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook the barley until tender, about 45 minutes total. While the barley cooks, pat the chickpeas and broccoli dry , then toss in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt, and chili flakes. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes, until the tips of the broccoli are caramelized and the chickpeas are shiny and slightly shriveled. Drain the cooked barley and toss with the roasted vegetables, seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and olive oil as needed.

Steps:

• Cook chickpeas:
• Soak dried chickpeas in 3 cups water at least 8 hours and up to 24.
• Drain soaked chickpeas and combine with 6 cups cold water in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 1 hour. Drain and set aside.
• Make broth while chickpeas cook:
• Lightly toast saffron in a dry small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, shaking skillet, just until fragrant, about 1 minute, then transfer to a small dish.
• Halve tomatoes and grate flesh on large round holes of a box grater, discarding skin.
• Put oil, grated tomato, onions, pepper, ginger, salt, tomato paste, and saffron in lower portion of couscoussière (or in 5- to 6-quart pot) and cook over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onions are softened, about 10 minutes. Add water and ras-el-hanout and bring broth to a simmer.
• Make couscous:
• While broth comes to a simmer, put couscous in a large wide bowl and toss with salt, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil, rubbing grains between your palms to distribute oil. Sprinkle couscous with 1 cup tepid water, rubbing to evenly distribute and breaking up any lumps. Sprinkle top portion of couscoussière (if using a colander or steamer, line with cheesecloth) with couscous in an even, loose layer without packing.
• Set couscous over simmering broth and steam, uncovered, until steam rises up evenly over surface of couscous, about 10 minutes. Transfer couscous to cleaned bowl (reserving cheesecloth if using).
• Let stand until cool enough to handle, then sprinkle with 1 cup water again and gently rub couscous between palms. Let couscous stand 10 minutes.
• While couscous stands, add carrots and turnips to broth in couscoussière and return to a simmer.
• Return couscous to top of couscoussière and steam a second time, uncovered, in same manner, until steam rises evenly over surface, then transfer to bowl again (reserving cheesecloth). Stir just enough water (1/2 to 3/4 cup) into couscous to make it come together when a squeezed handful holds its shape without cracking. Let couscous stand, uncovered, 10 minutes.
• While couscous stands, add zucchini, cabbage, and butternut squash to broth and cook, covered, until vegetables are almost tender, then add cooked chickpeas.
• Rub remaining 2 tablespoons oil into couscous, then transfer to top of couscoussière and steam couscous a third time in same manner as above.
