Combine the pearled barley and vegetable broth in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes until the barley is tender and chewy; drain excess liquid if needed.

Use caution when draining hot barley; keep steam away from your face and hands.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the leeks and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then cook until soft and glossy for 6 to 8 minutes; add the mushrooms and cook until browned and tender for 8 to 10 minutes.
