This isn't barley, it's pasta. You could also use orzatta. You can also dry the dough and grate it with a box grater. Barley and kasha used[ to be the staples of Eastern Europe; potatoes and pasta replaced them.]
Ingredients:
1 cup packaged egg barley or 1/2 recipe egg noodle dough (varenikes), recipe follows
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
2 cloves minced garlic
1 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 parsnip, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/ 2 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
egg wash (1 egg mixed with 2 tablespoons water)
Directions:
1. Roll out pasta dough 1/4-inch thick. With a pizza wheel and ruler, cut into 1/4-inch strips. Let the pasta dry a little, and then cut it into 1/4-inch squares with a knife. Boil until tender. Drain.
2. In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. Brown the onions, then add the garlic, carrots, parsnip, and mushrooms. Cook until barely tender. Add farfel and heat through.
3. Varenike dough:
