Barley Chili Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, tomatoes, salsa, broth, barley, water, chili powder, cumin, and garlic.
• Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add beans, corn and chicken; increase heat until chili comes to a boil.
• Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until barley is tender.
• If chili becomes too thick, add more chicken broth or water until chili is desired consistency.
• Top each bowl of chili with a little shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• In 5-quart Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in oil 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender. Stir in barley, tomatoes, water, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Reduce heat. Cover; simmer 30 minutes.
• Stir in beans and salsa. Cook about 30 minutes longer or until barley is tender.
• In small bowl, mix sour cream and cilantro until blended. Serve chili topped with cilantro sour cream.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, saute onion and green pepper in oil until tender. Add the water, tomato sauce, broth, tomatoes, barley, chili powder, cumin and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add chicken. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes longer or until barley is tender.

Steps:

• In a 4-qt saucepan or Dutch oven, cook onion and garlic in oil till onion is tender.
• Add remaining ingredients except chicken.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low.
• Cover and simmer 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water or stock if it seems too thick.
• Add cooked chicken; continue simmering 5-10 minutes till chicken is heated through and barley is tender.
• Taste to adjust seasonings - I'm sure I add more chili powder and cumin than this calls for, maybe a touch of oregano.
• Salt is up to you - always easier to add it at the end than start with too much.

Steps:

• Chop all peppers, garlic. Add all ingredients to a large stock pot over med-low heat. Cook about 30 min or until barley is tender. Stir occasionally to keep beans from sticking to the bottom. Cook slowly as barley needs time to soak up juices. If it gets too thick, add a bit of water to achieve desired consistency. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large pot, cook the beef and onion in a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes, breaking up with a spoon, until the onions are soft and the meat is no longer pink. Add the peppers and garlic and cook for a few more minutes, until soft.
• Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thick.
• Serve immediately or cool, then refrigerate for a day or two until ready to enjoy.
