Mushrooms and Barley over Greens

Makes: 4  servings Prep 15 mins Bake 425°F 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup  balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons  brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon  minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon  ground pepper
  • 4 large portobello mushroom caps (about 1-1/4 lbs.)
  • 1 cup  quick-cook barley
  • 1/2 cup  diced carrots
  • 1 pound  frisee or chicory salad greens

Directions

1. For the dressing, bring vinegar and sugar to a boil in saucepan; boil 3 minutes until mixture is reduced to 1/3 cup. Whisk in olive oil, salt, garlic and pepper. Set aside.

2. Heat oven to 425 degree F. Scrape gills from mushroom caps and discard. Arrange mushrooms smooth side up on a cookie sheet. Remove 2 tablespoons dressing to a cup and brush over tops of mushrooms. Bake 15 minutes. Cover with foil.

3. Meanwhile, cook barley according to package directions. Add the carrots during the last 3 minutes of cooking time. Slice mushrooms; toss with barley and 1/4 cup of the dressing. Toss salad with remaining dressing. Divide among 4 serving plates; top with barley-and-mushroom mixture. Makes 4 servings.
