A hearty and flavorful barley casserole, perfect for a cozy dinner or a potluck gathering.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the barley and onion until the barley is lightly toasted and the onion is softened.
Stir constantly to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
Transfer the toasted mixture to a baking dish.
Use a dish that is oven-safe and large enough to hold all ingredients.
Add the parsley, pepper, and salt to the dish and mix well.
Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Pour the chicken broth over the mixture and stir to combine.
Ensure the barley is submerged in the broth for even cooking.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Check halfway through and stir if needed to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the flavors to meld and the dish to set.
