Mushroom Lentil Barley Stew Recipes

Steps:

• In a slow cooker, mix the broth, button mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, barley, lentils, onion flakes, garlic, savory, bay leaves, basil, pepper, and salt.
• Cover, and cook 4 to 6 hours on High or 10 to 12 hours on Low. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until onions are limp, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Mix in the celery and carrot; cook for another 5 minutes. Stir in the barley and lentils so they are coated with oil, continue to cook and stir until lightly toasted.
• Pour in the beef broth and season with thyme, parsley, pepper and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Add the porcini mushrooms, cover and simmer for 25 minutes over low heat. Add the button mushroom, cover and continue cooking for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in sherry during the last 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Steps:

• Mix sweet potato, oil and salt and pepper. Toss and place on baking sheet.
• Bake at 400 deg for 30 minutes.
• Melt butter in large dutch oven over med-high heat. Add the onions. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and 1/4 t. salt. Cook until they have softened and browned, 10 - 15 minutes. (This salt is necessary to get the liquid out of the mushrooms.).
• Stir in the carrots and garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broth, barley, lentils, thyme and 1/2 teaspoons salt (if desired). Bring to simmer. Cook until barley is tender, about 50 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving.
• Divide into 2 oven safe bowls and top with the sweet potatoes.
• Bake at 350 deg. for 30 minutes.
• Serve with biscuits or bread.

Steps:

• Gently cook the shallots in the oil until softened and browned.
• Add the mushroooms and minced garlic and cook on high heat until the mushrooms start to release their juices.
• Stir in lentils, barley, soy sauce, sherry, herbs and 3/4 pint stock.
• Bring to a boil and then either transfer to a covered casserole dish and bake at 180C for 45 mins or leave in the sauce pan and simmer on top of the cooker for 25-30 mins - til the barley and lentils are cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
• You may need to top up the stock if it gets really dry so stir from time to time even if cooking in the oven, keep an eye on it.
• Check for seasoning (can't ever remember it needing salt - between the soy and stock it is okay ) retrieve the bay leaf and finish with a grind of black pepper.

Steps:

• Boil the broth. Once it's boiling, add the barley.
• While the barley cooks, slice the mushrooms. And saute them in oil. (trying to get them to release as much juice as possible).
• While the barley and mushrooms cook, chop the kale.
• Then, take the flour, and the same amount of broth and whisk them together, and add it to the soup. (It will thicken more later).
• By the time the mushrooms are cooked, and the kale is chopped, the barley should be a little more than half done, add the mushrooms and onions, and stir occasionally.
• Once the barley is almost cooked through, add the kale, and pepper.
• Wait a few minutes stirring occasionally, and enjoy!
