This barley risotto is delicious and charming. It makes a nice side dish for steak or roasted meats. Especially when you want to serve something a little different.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 5 cups chicken broth

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 cup pearl barley

  • ¾ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 garlic, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Bring chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and saute for 5 minutes. Add the barley, thyme, bay leaf and 2 cups of the hot broth. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low, and simmer until most of the broth is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Pour in remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring and allowing it to become absorbed before adding more. This process takes about 50 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Saute mushrooms in the hot oil until tender. Add garlic, and cook for about 3 more minutes. Stir in the barley mixture and parsley. Remove bay leaf, and serve.
