BAKED BARLEY RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS AND CARROTS



Baked Barley Risotto With Mushrooms and Carrots image

Wholesome and nutty, barley is a superb alternative to arborio rice in this risotto, since it's naturally plump and chewy when cooked. The grated Parmesan and butter stirred in at the end release the barley's starches, creating a silky, creamy texture. Make sure to use pearl barley, not hulled, since it cooks much faster and is more tender. As for the mushrooms, white button, cremini and earthy shiitakes are a tasty, accessible mix, though any combination of oyster, king trumpet and maitake would raise the bar. Still, the best thing about this risotto, which is a satisfying vegetarian weeknight dinner (or side to any large roast or fish) is that it's baked, taking away the pressure of constant stirring at the stove.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small white or yellow onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound mixed mushrooms, such as white button, cremini and shiitakes, halved if small, quartered if large (about 7 cups total)
Kosher salt and black pepper

2 ounces grated Parmesan (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup chopped chives

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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ounces dried cepes
8 cups water
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 pound fresh Portobello or shiitake mushrooms
1 large shallot
1 small clove garlic
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup pearl barley

Tips:

  • Use the right type of barley: Use pearled barley for a chewy texture or quick-cooking barley for a faster cook time.
  • Toast the barley: Toasting the barley in butter or oil before cooking it will help to develop its flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is a key flavor component in risotto, so use a high-quality broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and stir it often: This will help to create a creamy and evenly cooked risotto.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling and the butter from separating.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best enjoyed immediately after it is cooked.
