Saute the onion and mushrooms in butter for 6 minutes until softened.
Add the rinsed barley and toast for 2 minutes.
Add the water, salt, and black pepper, cover, and cook for 25 minutes.
When the barley is tender, warm the smetana with a spoonful of the hot mixture and add it to the pan.
Stir over low heat for 3 minutes and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Soaking the barley overnight helps it soften faster in the pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with the smetana sauce sitting over the mushrooms.
