Recipe information
Yield
serves 12
Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely chopped (1 1/2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups thinly sliced white mushrooms (about 3/4 pound)
3/4 cup thinly sliced cremini mushrooms (about 2 ounces)
2 cups pearl barley
1 cup hard wheat berries
1 cup wild rice
1/2 cup millet
7 cups homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil and butter in a large ovenproof Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add mushrooms. Raise heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in all of the grains. Cook, stirring often, 12 minutes. Stir in stock; bring to a boil.
Step 2
Cover, and transfer to oven. Bake until grains are tender, 40 to 50 minutes (check after 40 minutes, but don’t remove lid before then). Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
