Mushrooms and barley are a classic soup combination, but they also work very well together as a side dish. Onions are slowly cooked until caramelized and tender, then mixed with sauteed mushrooms and cooked barley. Chopped dill provides a pop of herby freshness and color.

Directions
Cook 2 sliced onions in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out the skillet, then melt 2 tablespoons butter and cook 3/4 pound sliced cremini mushrooms until golden. Bring 1 1/2 cups chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; add 1 1/2 cups quick-cooking barley, reduce the heat and cook, covered, 13 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Toss the barley with the mushrooms, caramelized onions and some chopped dill; season with salt.
