6 Tbsps. butter or margarine
 1 cup pearl barley
 1 large onion, minced
 3/4 to 1 cup sliced raw mushrooms or drained canned mushrooms
 3 cup consomme or chicken bouillon, boiling
 salt and pepper
 Heat 2 Tbsps. butter and saute barley in it.  Transfer barley to
 heavy casserole. Heat 2 more Tbsps. butter and saute onion in it.
 Add to barley.  Saute mushrooms in remaining butter and add to
 other ingredients.  Stir in hot consomme and salt and pepper to
 taste.  Cook, covered, over lowest possible heat until barley is
 tender and has absorbed the consomme.  Depending on the kind of
 barley used, this will take 25 to 45 minutes.  Stir occasionally.
 Makes about 6 servings.
