Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
- 4 ounces Shiitake mushrooms stems removed & thinly sliced
- 4 ounces crimini mushrooms thinly sliced
- 8 ounces sugar snap peas trimmed & cut in half (about 1 ½ cups)
- ¼ cup chopped shallots
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ⅓ cup quick-cooking barley
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
- ⅓ cup grated Kerrygold Dubliner cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- Stir in the sugar snap peas and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl.
- Using the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the shallots and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the barley and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for 15 seconds.
- 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.
- Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
- Remove the barley from the heat, and stir in the Kerrygold cheese, mushrooms and sugar snap peas. Season to taste and serve.
