Creamy Pea & Chive Pearl Barley Risotto (Reduced Fat) image

I am a big fan of pearl barley as it is cheap, tasty, healthy and very filling. This sounds like a great new way to enjoy pearl barley with a bit of an Italian flare. I originally found this recipe in the BBC Good Food Magazine.

BARLEY WITH BACON, PEAS AND DILL



Barley with Bacon, Peas and Dill image

This fiber-packed side dish makes a comforting and impressive addition to any meal. We've used hulled (also called dehulled) barley, which is less processed, chewier and takes longer to cook than pearl barley. Both varieties work for this recipe (though pearl barley, while still healthy, is not considered a whole grain). Or substitute brown rice, farro or your favorite whole grain.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup whole hulled barley, rinsed
Kosher salt
4 slices bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch strips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed (about 8 ounces)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the barley, 3 1/2 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the barley is chewy but tender, about 50 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the bacon in a single layer to a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain; reserve the bacon drippings in the skillet.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and melt the butter in the bacon drippings. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown, about 25 minutes. Add the peas and stir until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Drain any excess liquid from the barley. Stir the barley into the onion-pea mixture. Stir in the dill, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the bacon.
