|
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
|
2. Melt the butter in a 2-quart stove-top covered casserole. Add the garlic and onion and saute over moderately low heat until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
|
3. Add the mushrooms and saute over moderate heat until mushrooms are golden, about 5 minutes.
|
4. Add the barley and basil to the mushroom mixture, and toss lightly, then pour in the Chicken Stock and season to taste with salt and pepper.
|
5. Slowly bring the casserole to a boil, and then remove it from the heat. Cover the casserole and bake in the oven until the barley is tender, about 45 to 50 minutes.
|
6. Before serving, add the chopped parsley and toss gently. Serve piping hot.
