Risotto Style Barley With Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in barley, carrot and 4 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake until barley is tender and chewy and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in Parmesan and the butter until slightly thickened and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide among shallow bowls. Sprinkle with chives and more Parmesan, to taste.

Steps:

• Bring chicken stock to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
• Melt 2 teaspoons butter in large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add barley, thyme, bay leaf and 2 cups warm chicken stock; bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until most of stock is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Add remaining stock 1/2 cup at a time, allowing stock to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until barley is tender, about 50 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in another large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Mix in parsley and barley mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon risotto into bowls and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the shallots and cook until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add the barley and fennel seeds (if using), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste and cook, stirring, until the barley is lightly toasted, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms, rosemary and wine and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are soft and the wine is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer; cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the barley is tender and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the ham, parmesan and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in the barley and thyme and cook, stirring, until the barley is just golden, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer to a 6-quart slow cooker and add the carrots, broth, 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook on high until the liquid is absorbed and the carrots and barley are tender, about 3 hours.
• Discard the thyme and stir in the Parmesan, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Thin out the risotto with warm water for desired consistency as needed. Top with parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes. Add all mushrooms; sauté until golden brown, adding 1 to 3 tablespoons water if mixture is dry, about 15 minutes. Stir in herbs and garlic. Add barley and stir 1 minute. Add 4 cups broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until liquid is almost absorbed and barley is almost tender, about 30 minutes.
• Stir 1 cup broth and tomato paste into barley. Cook uncovered until barley is tender and mixture is creamy, stirring occasionally and adding more broth if necessary, about 10 minutes. Stir in cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

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.

Steps:

• Combine the dried cepes and water in a saucepan. Simmer gently over medium heat until reduced to 6 cups, about 20 minutes. Drain through a sieve lined with cheesecloth, pouring the broth into a small saucepan. Finely chop the mushrooms and set aside. Keep the broth warm over low heat.
• Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottom saucepan. Add the fresh mushrooms. Saute over high heat until golden, but not soft, about 3 minutes. Take the mushrooms out of the pan and set aside. Add the shallots and garlic to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium high and simmer until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 minutes. Add the barley and stir. Ladle in 1/2 cup of the hot broth and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time, stirring until absorbed, until the barley is tender, about 30 minutes. Add both the dried cepes and fresh mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Beat in the Parmesan. Divide among 4 bowls, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium high heat, add the onion and fry until softened and golden, around 10 mins. Add the garlic, chestnuts, if using, and the thyme, fry for a minute, then tip in the mushrooms and fry until they begin to soften, around 3 mins.
• Stir in the pearl barley, making sure everything is well combined and cook for 2-3 mins. Tip in the wine and leave to bubble away until it's reduced by half. Add one-third of the stock, stir, then turn the heat down and let the pearl barley absorb the liquid. Continue adding the remaining stock, a bit at a time, adding more once each addition has been absorbed.
• Stir through the rocket, cook for 1 min, then divide between bowls.
