Whether green beans, cauliflower, peas or potatoes, you can make a layered dish from anything. Hungarian egg barley casserole (in Hungarian: Alföldi rakott tarhonya) is a great alternative to all casseroles. Egg barley, vegetables, sausage and hard-boiled eggs, all baked together… few ingredients, big meal. A Hungarian culinary classic that is not difficult to prepare.

Ingredients of egg barley casserole:
