Ingredients
-
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 teaspoon butter
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
-
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
8 ounces mushrooms, chopped
-
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
-
⅛ teaspoon salt, or to taste
-
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
-
1/4 cup Marsala, or cream sherry (see Note)
-
1 14-ounce can vegetable broth, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
-
1 cup water
-
¼ cup quick-cooking barley
Directions
-
Heat oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, carrot, celery, onion, mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables release some of their juices, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.
-
Add Marsala (or sherry) and cook, stirring, until reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth, water and barley; bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables and barley are tender, about 15 minutes.
Tips
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Note: Marsala and cream sherry, fortified wines, are flavorful and economical additions to many sauces. Store opened bottles in a cool, dry place for months.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
