Pink Pearl Barley Risotto With Feta Cheese image

Found this gem of a recipe in a German cookbook named "Vegetarian Food For Every Season". Its a perfect fall dish with great colours and bold flavours. The beets make it a little bit sweet and earthy and the feta adds a nice salty touch. Instead of using all the different pinches of spices, you could also whip up a batch of this and use 1 ts of it in this recipe: Recipe #124269

Categories     Grains

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon butter
1 onion, chopped
1 sprig fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
400 g beetroots, peeled and diced finely
250 g pearl barley
700 ml broth (I use veggie)
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch ground red chili pepper
1 pinch oregano
1 pinch cayenne pepper
100 g feta cheese, diced finely

Steps:

  • Heat butter in a heavy pot. Add onion and rosemary to it and sautee until translucent.
  • Add beets and pearl barley and sautee for 2 more minutes.
  • Add enough broth to slightly cover barley and beets and simmer until all of the broth has been absorbed. Make sure to stir frequently so that it wont stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Once broth has been absorbed, add more and simmer until everything is tender (about 12 minutes).
  • Season with spices and serve garnished with feta cheese.

This risotto was very bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I added some salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too salty. I think I might have added too much salt. Next time, I'll be sure to taste the risotto before adding more salt.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon from this recipe. The risotto was still very flavorful and satisfying. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too dry. I think I might have added too much stock. Next time, I'll be sure to add the stock more gradually.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some other herbs or spices. The texture was also a bit too mushy for my liking.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The pink pearl barley was a great substitute for arborio rice, and the feta cheese and peas added a lot of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
