Pearl barley is a nice alternative to arborio rice in this rich and creamy risotto. Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese alongside saute shrimp for a simple yet elegant dinner.
Ingredients
Preparation
In saucepan, toast barley over medium heat, stirring often, until light golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
In same saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, fennel, garlic, salt and thyme until softened, about 6 minutes.
Stir in wine; cook, stirring, until almost no liquid remains, about 2 minutes. Stir in barley; cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add stock and 2 cups (500 mL) water; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until barley is tender and no liquid remains. Remove from heat; stir in parsley. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
