   This is a recipe for a Czech barley casserole that is traditionally
   served on Christmas Eve but is also good as a side dish. Cook the
   onion in the butter until translucent. Wash the mushrooms until free
   from grit.
    Add the barley (or barley grits, mushrooms, salt and water to the
   onions and cook, uncovered, until the water has evaporated, stirring
   frequently. (Mixture will be very thick.) Add the remaining
   ingredients.
    Place in a greased casserole or baking dish and bake at 350 degrees
   for 30 to 35 minutes. I usually cut this recipe in half unless we are
   having a really big crowd. It also freezes well.
