Steps:
- Place the farro in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes to par-cook the farro, and then drain and set aside.
- In a heavy-based pot, add the butter and oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic and shallots and saute until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine. Add the drained farro and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock to the pot a little at a time, ensuring at each addition that the liquid has been completely absorbed by the farro. Keep stirring and adding the stock until the mixture is thick and creamy.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper, and then add the Parmesan, sour cream and parsley.
BARLEY AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:
- For the vegetable stock: Add the vegetable stock, onion, carrots and celery to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then maintain at a simmer while making the risotto.
- For the risotto: Add the olive oil to a large heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium-high heat. When hot add the barley and saute until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shallots, garlic, Vidalia onions and salt; cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the shallots become translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the shiitakes and thyme leaves and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Next, begin adding the vegetable stock, one ladleful at a time, allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. Stir frequently throughout; this brings out the starch in the barley. When the barley is tender and all of the vegetable stock has been used, remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the parsley. Serve immediately.
BARLEY RISOTTO WITH SUNDRIED TOMATOES AND SHIITAKE
Steps:
- Pour the boiling water over the dried mushrooms, cover and set aside. In the meantime, saute the onions and half the garlic in the olive oil from the sundried tomatoes; keep it on low heat. Saute for a few minutes until onions are soft (no colour change). Add the rinsed barley and a pinch of salt. Stir the barley so that each grain is coated with oil. Add both the red and white wine and turn up the heat. After the wine is absorbed, add one cup of the liquid from the soaked mushrooms, taking care not to pour any sand into the pot. Turn the heat down to medium, and chop the mushrooms into small chunks and add to the pot. Roughly chop the sundried tomatoes and add half of them to the pot. Stir and add two cups of vegetable broth. Leave the pot partially covered and let cook until liquid is absorbed, about eight or ten minutes. Add one finely chopped garlic clove now as well as two more cups of vegetable broth. Continue to cook with lid off, stirring occasionally. When barley is tender and creamy (add extra vegetarian broth or water as needed), add the goat cheese and stir until melted. Quickly stir in the chopped spinach, the rest of the chopped tomatoes, chopped raw garlic, half and half, and sugar. Stir briefly and turn off heat. Season with salt, pepper, (and red pepper, if adding) and add one cup of the chopped basil. Cover and let stand for a few minutes. To serve, spoon into bowls and sprinkle with remaining basil.
BARLEY RISOTTO WITH MARINATED FETA
No, it's not really risotto, but it's really good and a whole lot easier! The color is gorgeous, too. A recipe from Ottolenghi's "Jerusalem", a cookbook with great recipes, not a loser in the bunch! The things that make it special are the toasted caraway in the feta marinade and the fresh oregano. Do not use dried oregano; if you can't get fresh, then use another fresh herb, such as basil, chives, tarragon, sage, or even a bit more fresh thyme. We are not big caraway fans, but this comes together to make a delicious vegetarian main dish. All you need is a simple salad of fresh greens on the side. I use dried thyme instead of fresh, about 1 tsp. It's even better if you make your own raw tomato puree; just blend and sieve. I also like to toast the barley several minutes in the oil and veggie mixture before adding the liquids to give it a nuttier flavor.

Steps:
- Rinse the barley well under cold water and leave to drain well.
- Melt the butter and 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a very large frying pan and cook the celery, shallots, and garlic over gentle heat for 5 minutes, until soft. Add the barley, thyme, paprika, bay, lemon peel, chile flakes, tomatoes, stock, passata, and a small amount of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a very gentle simmer and cook for 45 minutes, stirring frequently to make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the pan. When ready, the barley should be tender and most of the liquid absorbed.
- Meanwhile, toast the caraway seeds in a dry pan for a couple of minutes, being careful not to burn them. Then lightly crush them so that some whole seeds remain. Add them to the feta with the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil and mix GENTLY to combine.
- Once the risotto is ready, check and correct for seasoning and then divide it among four shallow bowls. Top each serving with 1/4 of the marinated fetainxcluding the oil, and a sprinkling of oregano leaves.

VEGETARIAN BARLEY RISOTTO
Based on rice risotto, this dish is a flavorful, healthy, and filling entree. It is also more nutritious than Arborio risotto because it's a good source of fiber and whole grain and is full of vegetables. I invented it to satisfy my meat-loving family on my Meatless Monday and it was a great success!

Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until barley is tender but still firm to bite and risotto is creamy, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured, and that your equipment is ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Toast the barley: Before cooking the barley, toast it in a large pot over medium heat. This will give the barley a nutty flavor and help it absorb the liquid more evenly.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of your risotto. Use a high-quality vegetable or chicken broth, or even a combination of the two.
- Cook the risotto slowly and stir frequently: Risotto takes time to cook, so be patient and let it simmer slowly. Stir the risotto frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and to help it release its starch, which will create a creamy sauce.
- Add the sundried tomatoes and shiitake mushrooms towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked and tough.
- Season to taste: Once the risotto is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and additional herbs or spices, if desired.
Conclusion:
Barley risotto with sundried tomatoes and shiitake mushrooms is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and vibrant colors, this risotto is sure to impress your family and friends.
