Ingredients
  • 3 tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small white or yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 lb mixed mushrooms, such as white button, cremini and shiitakes, halved if small, quartered if large (about 7 cups total)
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 10 ozs pearl barley (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium carrot, very thinly sliced into rounds (about 1 cup)
  • 2 ounces grated parmesan (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving
  • 2 tbsps unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
Directions

Tasting notes: This is a great nutty, earthy dish which enhances the earthy notes in the Transverse pinot noir.

Serena's tips: We browned the mushrooms before adding them to the dish as suggested by the New York Times and it definitely adds another great layer of flavor. We also left the chives off and had a lot of extra Parmesan for serving.
