Oyster Mushroom Egg Barley
Ingredients
3 tbsp cooking oil, 1 onion, 1 red bell pepper, ½ leek, sliced, 2 tomatoes, diced, 2.5 cups water, 1 tbsp paprika, salt, pepper, ground cumin, 300 g oyster mushrooms, 200 g egg barley (tarhonya), mild or spicy chili pepper
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper in oil until translucent. Add the diced oyster mushrooms and sauté until golden brown. Add the sliced leek and diced tomatoes, season with spices, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Toast the egg barley in another pot, then add it to the mushroom mixture. Pour in the water and cook for 20 minutes until the egg barley is fully cooked. It’s done when the egg barley is completely softened. Add more water if needed. Just before it’s ready, add the chili pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes. It’s a quick and satisfying lunch.
Tip
There are many varieties of chili peppers available in spice stores. The mild version adds aroma to the dish without making it unbearably spicy. Those who enjoy spicy flavors can certainly use traditional spicy versions.
