I baked all of the ingredients, step wise, in the oven. (Mostly because I had the oven on for some other items I was baking and thought I’d multi-task… That and it made a lot of the cooking hands-off). It allowed the barley to soak up all the flavors of the vegetable as they baked together. You could saute the onions and corn on the stove top and mix them with the barley and blended corn mixture before baking. (The final baking time may then need to be increased to ~45 min.)
