1 T. olive oil, preferably extra virgin <\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 C. chopped onion <\/span><\/p>\n

8 ounces small brown mushrooms, halved <\/span><\/p>\n

1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1″ chunks <\/span><\/p>\n

1 1\/2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary <\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp. dried thyme <\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp. salt <\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 C. dry red wine (optional) <\/span><\/p>\n

1 C. vegetable or chicken broth <\/span><\/p>\n

1\/2 C. quick-cooking barley <\/span><\/p>\n

8 ounces broccoli florets, cut into marble-size pieces <\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 tsp. ground black pepper <\/span><\/p>\n

The rosemary may be replaced with 1 tsp. of crumbled dried rosemary. If not using wine, drizzle a little bit of balsamic vinegar on the ragout just before serving. The acid will heighten the flavor. The vegetable or chicken broth may be replaced with water.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Warm the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, sweet potato, rosemary, thyme, and salt. Stir to mix. Cover and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms shrink and are glazed. Add the wine, if using. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the liquid evaporates. Add the broth and barley. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the barley is tender. Meanwhile, place the broccoli in a medium skillet with enough water to come 1\/2″ up the pan sides. Cover and cook over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain and stir into the stew. Add the pepper. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes for the flavors to blend.<\/span><\/p>\n
