Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Tbsp butter (DIVIDED)
1 shallot (minced)
2 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms (about 1 standard tray)
1/4 tsp fresh thyme leaves (plus more for garnish)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups beef broth (hot)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
Additional fresh thyme leaves
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the beef broth in a saucepan and keep warm.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until starting to soften. Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring regularly until mushrooms are tender and lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes. Add the barley and the remaining 1 Tbsp butter. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until the wine is absorbed, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add one ladle of the hot beef broth and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring once or twice, until nearly all of the broth has been absorbed. *You don't want to boil the mixture too vigorously, but you do want a consistent simmer. Adjust heat to that point. Continue adding broth, one ladle at a time, allowing the it to cook until the liquid is absorbed before adding another ladle. Cook until all the broth is added. Test the barley. You want it to be al dente. If it is not quite there, add another ladle of hot water (or broth, if you have more available) and cook a bit longer. When barley is cooked, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
  • Season dish with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Serve with additional grated Parmesan and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or fresh thyme leaves.

BARLEY RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND DILL



Barley Risotto with Mushrooms and Dill image

Nutty pearl barley stands in seamlessly for rice in this hearty risotto starring garlicky sauteed mushrooms and a generous dose of fresh dill.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, and beech
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced leeks, white- and light-green parts only, well washed and drained
1 1/2 cups pearl barley
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high. Add mushrooms; season with salt. Cook until browned in places, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate; reserve skillet for risotto (do not wipe skillet clean).
  • In a saucepan, combine broth, 2 cups water, lemon zest, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, heat reserved skillet over medium. Swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Add leeks, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add barley and cook, stirring, until translucent and grains begin to make a popping sound, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in wine; cook until mostly evaporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Ladle 1 cup broth mixture into skillet. Stir with a wooden spoon at a moderate speed until most of broth is absorbed and bottom of skillet stays visible for a second or two as you mix, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue ladling broth into skillet, about 1/2 cup at a time (or enough to just cover barley). Stir occasionally, allowing barley to absorb most of broth before adding more. Risotto is ready when barley is tender and creamy and broth has thickened to a rich sauce, 1 hour. (You may not need to use all of broth.)
  • Remove from heat. Fold in mushroom mixture, butter, lemon juice, and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Top with dill and more cheese; drizzle with oil and sprinkle with more pepper to serve. If the risotto becomes stiff before serving, stir in more hot broth, a little at a time, until it's loose and creamy.

BAKED BARLEY RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARROTS



Baked Barley Risotto With Mushrooms and Carrots image

Wholesome and nutty, barley is a superb alternative to arborio rice in this risotto, since it's naturally plump and chewy when cooked. The grated Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end release the barley's starches, creating a silky, creamy texture. Make sure to use pearl barley, not hulled, since it cooks much faster and is more tender. As for the mushrooms, white button, cremini and earthy shiitakes are a tasty, accessible mix, though any combination of oyster, king trumpet and maitake would raise the bar. Still, the best thing about this risotto, which is a satisfying vegetarian weeknight dinner (or side to any large roast or fish) is that it's baked, taking away the pressure of constant stirring at the stove.
