Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms stems removed & thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces cremini mushroom thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces sugar snap peas trimmed & cut in half (about 1 ½ cups)
  • ¼ cup shallot chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • teaspoon salt
  • 1 ⅓ cup barley quick-cooking
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
  • cup Dubliner cheese grated
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the shiitake and crimini mushrooms and cook until tender and just starting to brown, about 3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the sugar snap peas and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl.
  3. Using the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Add the shallots and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the barley and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for 15 seconds.
  6. Add the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer until the barley is tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
  8. Remove the barley from the heat, and stir in the Kerrygold cheese, mushrooms and sugar snap peas. Season to taste and serve.
