Barley Risotto (South Beach Diet Phase 2) image

From most recent book. Haven't tried. Just like classic risotto, this barley version is toothsome and creamy. Technique wise, this is even easier than the conventional risotto because it doesn't require as much stirring. This recipe is adaptable. Add mushrooms if you like or stir in a mix of fresh herbs at the end.

Time 1h

Yield 4 1/2 cup servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup pearl barley
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring broth to a simmer; remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, in a second medium, heavy bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and barley; stir to combine. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and barley is lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Add a third of the broth, bring barely to a simmer, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until brother is almost absorbed, about 12 minutes.
  • Repeat with next third of broth, and then with the final third. Remove pan from the heat and sit in the Parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste.

This barley risotto was a disappointment. The barley was mushy and the flavors were bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I won't be making this recipe again.

This barley risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I may have added too much salt when I was seasoning the dish. Other than that, it was a good recipe and I would make it again, but with less salt.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out mushy. I think I may have added too much liquid. Other than that, the flavors were good. I'll try again next time and hopefully it will turn out better.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, which helped to give it a bit more flavor. Overall, it was a good recipe, but it could use a few tweaks.
