Ingredients

1	each	onion	minced
1/2	pound	mushrooms	sliced
1	each	garlic clove	minced
1	cup	wild rice
3 1/2	cups	chicken broth
1/2	cup	pearl barley
1	x	salt and black pepper

Directions

In a 12 inch frying pan or 2 to 3 quart pan, combine onion, mushrooms, garlic, and 1/2 cup water. Cook, uncovered, on high heat until liquid evaporates and a brown film forms in pan, about 15 minutes; stir often. Add 2 or 3 tablespoons water and stir to free the brown film; cook until the film forms again. Repeat this step 4 or 5 times until onions are richly browned, about 15 minutes.

Rinse and drain rice. Mix with broth in pan. Bring to a boil on high heat; cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Rinse and drain barley. Add to rice; simmer until grains are tender to bite but just slightly chewy, about 20 minutes longer.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes 5 or 6 servings.

Devilishly Good Food

Not that I need an excuse to be naughty or indulgent, but with Halloween right around the corner I thought some wicked recipes...

Bohemian Braid

I spotted this recipe in my mom's old Betty Crocker cookbook when I was about 15 years old. I was in Home Ec at the time and this looked spectacular so I made it that Christmas to "show off." It became an instant family Christmas tradition. This beautiful bread looks like it came right out of a picture in a cookbook, even when made by a novice. You'll always get ohhs and ahhs when unveiling it. Perfect as a home-baked gift too.
