This was wonderful. I never would've thought to put barley with rice.. seems like such an obvious choice! They both balanced each other out so it still tastes like rice but has that little extra texture and slight creaminess from the barley. Delicious! I skipped the parm (I thought it tasted great without it at that point) and added a touch more black pepper and it was a winner :) Thanks! -
It is an excellent meal, tried it also with iats instead of pearl barley, but it was always somewhat less than we expected. Everybody loved it including my two year old son! Sprinkle some italian parsley on top and BON APETIT!!! -
Loved loved loved this recipe. I was surprised that the bastmati and barley would yeild a creamy texture, but it did. The only change I made was to saute a bit of shallot with the oyster mushrooms but other than that I followed the recipe. This is a nice change of pace and my new favorite sidedish. Thank you Chef#439689 for sharing the recipe.

I have found and cooked some wonderful things, but there has always one or two things I would change, so I have...and I would love to share them with others! <br /> <br />Yum Yum Yum!</p>
