I found this on a package of fresh baby bella mushrooms, originally from Bob Greene's "The Best Life Diet." I have not tried this, but it looks yummy and healthy!

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups fat free chicken broth or 4 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3/4 cup pearl barley, sorted and rinsed
1/3 cup white wine
8 ounces portabella mushrooms or 8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Cover and turn off the heat.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft. Reduce heat to low.
  • Add barley and stir to coat with oil. Add wine and cook, stirring, until wine is absorbed.
  • Add hot broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently and adding more as broth absorbs. (This should take about 30 minutes. You may have broth left over, or you may need to add more to get barley to desired consistency.)
  • Put remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and shallots and saute until mushrooms are golden and shallots are soft.
  • Stir mushroom mixture and basil into barley, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese sauce was very heavy and the mushrooms were a bit overpowering. I think it would be better with less cheese and a lighter mushroom.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this risotto. The barley and cheese sauce were so creamy and flavorful that I didn't even notice the mushrooms. I would definitely make this again.

This risotto was just okay. The mushrooms and barley were cooked well, but the cheese sauce was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. The mushrooms and barley were cooked well, but the cheese sauce was a bit thin. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.

This risotto was easy to make and turned out great. I used a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms, and they were so flavorful. The barley added a nice chewy texture. I will definitely be making this again.
