1/4 cup pearl barley |
1 cup boiling water |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 onion, finely chopped |
1 stalk celery, finely chopped |
1 carrot, finely chopped |
6 cups white mushrooms, halved if large |
3 cloves garlic, minced |
1 tablespoon tomato paste |
6 cups beef stock |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |

Directions:
