**5 stars!** This barley risotto was delicious. I made it for a dinner party and everyone raved about it. The barley was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still crisp.

This recipe was easy to follow and the risotto turned out great! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
