This barley risotto features fabulously nutty pearl barley, cooked up risotto style with mushrooms, garlic and Parmesan. A great meatless main or a hearty side. I am a huge fan of barley for comfort food and it's a bonus that it's a particularly healthy choice, full of fibre and great fuel for all the shovelling in my future. Make the Mushroom Stock: Pour a small splash of olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat.
Steps to make Pearl Barley Mushroom Risotto:
- Add oil to a large saucepan and warm over a medium heat. Add the onions and a good grind of black pepper and softly cook them until translucent, stirring occasionally, this will take around 6-8 minutes. Add in a good pinch of salt and the garlic and fry for 10-15 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the pearl barley and the white wine and combine everything together well, fry for around a minute whilst stirring to evaporate off the alcohol a little. Add in the dried mushrooms and pour in half a pint of stock (250ml) and stir. Once the stock has almost reduced, pour in another 250ml. Continue to simmer over a medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Continue this process of reducing down the stock and then adding another 250ml stock until the pearl barley is tender and cooked but still with a gentle bite to it. Right towards the end you may need to turn down the heat a smidge so the liquid reduces slower. Remove from the heat and add in most of the chopped parsley reserving a little as garnish. Add in the butter and gently stir through, to make the risotto beautifully creamy.
- Serve up and garnish with more fresh parsley, salt and pepper to taste and a grating of quality Parmigianino Reggiano cheese. Enjoy! :)
