Last night I tried out this recipe: http://www.closetcooking.com/2012/01/roasted-mushroom-and-green-bean-farro.html with a few adaptations.I don't really understand how farro differs from barley, but I couldn't find farro at my Whole foods, so whatever. Also, walnuts are gross.
Ingredients:
About 9 mushrooms
About two big handfuls of frozen green beans. I like the skinny french type.
About five inch-ish cubes of feta
Some thyme
Some olive oil
Some balsamic vinegar
2/3 cup barley
Salt
- Start on the barley. That shit takes forever.
- Quickly microwave to thaw out the green beans and preheat the oven to 400.
- Toss the mushrooms and the beans in some olive oil with some thyme. Lay it all out on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with kosher salt. Roast for about 20 minutes, flipping occasionally.
- When the barley is done, I dumped the mushrooms and beans into the pot and stirred. I crumbled in some feta and poured on some vinegar. And some salt, duh.
Overall I thought this was pretty delicious. Especially the mushrooms. AND, it was my first time cooking with thyme, so that was a fun experiment.
It was supposed to look like this:
It looked like this:
Close enough!
