| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Soak the mushrooms and drain them, reserving the soaking water. Chop the mushrooms into \/z-inch dice. Pour the mushroom water through a fine strainer into the Beef Stock, avoiding any sand or grit that may be in the bottom of the bowl.
|
2. Bring the 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the barley and simmer, covered, until all the moisture is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir the butter into the barley. Set aside.
|
3. Heat the Beef Stock in a large pot and add all the remaining ingredients, except the garnish. Bring to a simmer and add the barley/butter mixture, stirring well to separate the grains.
|
4. Cook, covered, until the barley is tender, about 1 hour. Add salt and pepper to taste.
|
5. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream as a garnish.
