Rustic and delicious, this healthy meatless stew is a hearty main course.
Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add leeks; sprinkle with salt and pepper and sauté until leeks begin to soften, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic, and rosemary; increase heat to medium-high and sauté until mushrooms soften and begin to brown, stirring often, about 7 minutes. Add tomatoes with juice; stir 1 minute. Add barley and 4 cups broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until barley is almost tender, about 20 minutes. Add kale; stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Cover and simmer until kale and barley are tender, adding more broth by 1/4 cupfuls as needed for desired stew consistency, about 10 minutes.

Back to Top我也开始单独大麦误事to expedite. I added 2 carrots cut into coins and next time will try adding 2 parsnips, similarly cut. Otherwise, followed the recipe with tasty, hearty, result.

Oops. I forgot to say that I prepped the vegetables AFTER I started the barley, so the rate-limiter was only the time it took to cook the barley, which gave plenty of time for the other functions. (And, I omitted the rosemary, but it tasted fine.)

In a rush, I made some adaptations: I started the barley in the broth, adding the tomatoes soon thereafter. As they cooked, in a separate pan I sauted the leek, kale, etc. (adding 1/2 c white wine, when nearly finished), and when the barley was finished, threw it all together. Worked fine.

Loved this! Super tasty, filling, healthy, and easy. What more could you ask for? Have made this a few times now and it had not disappointed yet. I use veggie broth.

Loved this stew. Added a can of rinsed great northern beans at the end (I highly recommend adding a protein, and any bean would likely do). I also added the barley before the tomatoes so it could toast a bit in the flavorful veggie-olive oil mixture, then added a splash of white wine vinegar before adding tomatoes and stock (hat-tip to risotto). Heavenly! Also, pecorino or parmesan is a great topping.

This is a great comforting dish. I made a few adjustments when I made it. Insead of vegetable broth I used not beef bullion. I also doubled the mushrooms and garlic and used fire roased diced tomatoes. I finished it with a little dry vermouth. It needs a hint of acid at the end, I am sure any dry white wine will do. This is an very balanced dish, very easy to make. It is going into the regular rotation at our house for sure.

Meh. Gets too busy with the tomatoes. I'd leave them out, and add some protein (sausage; or, more healthful, chicken). Keep in mind, too, that kale needs to cook in order to be edible.

I subbed spinach for the kale, used a bit more mushrooms - otherwise followed the recipe. Flavorful and delicious, would make again - yummy!

Nice consistency, easy to make, liked the combination of ingredients-but way t00 much rosemary for our group. Would have been fine without, and possibly even better with the addition of veg sausage. Will make those changes next time.

I hated this. It must be some weird thing about me, but the combination of mushrooms, tomatoes, and greens always tastes like vomit to me. I had hoped this recipe would be different but I was wrong...I had to throw this out :(

Love this - have made it with barley and once with lentils - both are delicious. The broth is very fragrant and tasty! Definitely one of my favorite soups.

Wow, this was such a nice surprise. Judging by the ingredients list, it seemed a little bit plain, but it turned out to be incredibly flavourful. I'll definitely be making again.

QUINOA, instead of barley, and it's a one-dish meal! Just make sure the quinoa is still al dente when you stop cooking...it will continue to soften a bit from the retained heat. I used one cup, and that was perfect. What a great recipe, and even tastier for lunch the next day.
