This was excellent. I love barley anyway and the portabella mushrooms made it so good! I made it into a meal by adding some cut-up cooked chicken. Made for Holiday Hits 2015

Great side dish to a roast chicken. I cut the recipe in half with no problem. We don't like dill so I used marjoram, which pairs well with mushrooms. Will be making this again! Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.
