Servings:  4
Ingredients:
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 carrots, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 1 ½ cups cooked pearl barley
  • 2 cups cooked white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups vegetable stock, preferably homemade
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 6 sheets frozen phyllo dough, preferably whole wheat, thawed
  • Sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Sauté onion, carrots, and mushrooms until tender, stirring frequently, 6 to 8 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring up browned bits, until almost all the wine has evaporated.

2. Combine barley and beans in a large pot. Whisk flour into stock and add to pot. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in parsley and let cool slightly.

3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Using a 12-ounce ramekin as a guide, cut out 4 rounds from phyllo; keep covered with a damp paper towel. Spoon barley mixture into 4 ramekins. Brush each cut sheet with oil and place on top of filled ramekin. Cut vents into tops. Sprinkle with sea salt and reserved parsley.

4. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and bake until tops are golden and filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
