  Heat a pan with butter and olive oil over medium heat and finely chop the mushrooms in the meantime. Once the oil and butter are hot, add the onion to the pan and sauté for 8–10 minutes over medium heat. Then add the chopped mushrooms, caraway seeds, and garlic, and sauté everything for another 3–4 minutes over medium heat. After the specified time, add the cooked barley and marjoram and continue sautéing over medium heat (5–6 minutes).
