Barley Recipes

Good as a light lunch or add beef to make a hearty stew.

An easy to make recipe that's full of Vitamin A.

Spicy and heart chili!

Very hearty and filling!

Add sweetness to your Rosh Hashanah meal with these wonderful fall flavors. Double or triple the recipe for larger gatherings.

Easy to make, and you probably have all the ingredients on hand already. My mom use to make this in our family restaurant; it always sold out quickly!

There is nothing more satisfying than a warm hearty and delicious soup when it's cold outside. This soup is versatile (add whatever veggies you have lying around), easy and nutritious. Adding both barley and lentils makes this more nutritionally complete for the veggies out there, but feel free to just use one or the other if you'd prefer. And the servings are large! If you're having this on the side, you'll get a lot more servings than mentioned! (also it freezes really well too! so make a batch and freeze in single-serve tupperware for easy lunches/dinners!)

I found this recipe on the Quaker Quick Barley Box. Can use Lean Ground Turkey instead of lean ground beef. I had issues with SP ingredient list so they will be modified in the actual recipe shown
The prep time is approximate!
I modified the recipe from the box of barley.

i did the recipe with the remaining ingredients i had.

Created on Feb 17, 2010 following my body's 'requests', seeking to highlight fiber, Vitamin C and Heme and Non-heme iron I fell into this sensually mouth and eye pleasing creation that satisfied my body to it's very core. ahh.

The contrast of the savory and the almost tart in the broccoli and mushrooms against the sweet of the carrots, along with the barley's texture which compliments the velvet of the livers and the slight crispy-greeness of the spinach is just delightful.
This dish may not seem filling at first, but trust me, wait a few minutes after you've eaten it and this expands to fill you for many hours, one of the perks of barley.

These veggie beetroot burgers are a great low-fat alternative to high-in-fat beef burgers. Serve with the barley salad or in buns

I found this receipe while trying to find a good use for some leftover barley. It's packed full of fiber, very colorful to the eye and gets better with age! A full 10 grams of fiber per serving! Don't let the jalapeno fool you - the dish is not a hot spicy, but more a flavorfull, subtle spicy. Enjoy!

Delicious winter stew that's incredibly low in calories, high in protien & fiber, totally fresh, can be frozen & makes about 8-10 servings, which means under 300cal per serving. Ground turkey with fresh vegtables, mix it up, use what you like. It's great!!

This is a recipe using quick-cook rices and barley, but you could sub. regular cooking grains too. Just adjust the cooking times for the longer version.

A hearty vegetarian dish.

This is adapted from BH&G recipe in October 2010 issue, but replacing andouille sausage with crisped, drained bacon which keeps the smokey flavor but reduces the fat by over 14 grams, while keeping the fiber over 7 grams. I also reduced the amount of barley, and replaced chicken broth granules with actual chicken stock, upping the flavor quotient, and reducing the salt a bit.

From the "Everything Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook."

This is a great fall recipe and a nice alternative to arborio. It makes 4 as a side or 2 as a main. It is quite filling though.

Risotto that doesn't require constant vigilence!

A yummy tomato and vegetable stew sure to take away those winter blechs!
