BARLEY 'RISOTTO' WITH TURKEY AND MUSHROOMS



Barley 'Risotto' With Turkey and Mushrooms image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil, or a combination
1/2 cup chopped scallions or onion
1 cup pearl barley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried, or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil, mint, dill or parsley
3 cups any stock or water, warmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped cooked or raw turkey meat
1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, caps only, sliced
Chopped parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Put half the butter or oil in a medium to large skillet over medium-high heat. When butter is melted or oil is hot, add scallions or onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add barley and cook, stirring, for a minute or so, until glossy; add herb, liquid and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Turn heat down to low, cover and cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until barley is tender (it will not become very soft) and liquid is absorbed. Meanwhile, heat remaining butter or oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook turkey, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, then cook mushrooms until crisp in same pan; remove.
  • Check barley's progress: Continue to cook, if necessary, adding a tablespoon or two more liquid if all liquid has been absorbed and barley is not yet tender. Stir in turkey and mushrooms and continue to cook until all is hot and combined, then garnish and serve.

BARLEY AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Barley and Shiitake Mushroom Risotto image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 cups vegetable stock
1/2 onion
2 carrots, halved
2 celery sticks, large chop
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup pearled barley
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 Vidalia onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, thinly sliced
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

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 Mushrooms and Dill image

Nutty pearl barley stands in seamlessly for rice in this hearty risotto starring garlicky sauteed mushrooms and a generous dose of fresh dill.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, and beech
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced leeks, white- and light-green parts only, well washed and drained
1 1/2 cups pearl barley
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 1/2 ounces), plus more for serving
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables and meats, and use a good quality broth.
  • Toast the barley before cooking. This will help to bring out its nutty flavor and give the risotto a more complex texture.
  • Cook the barley in stages. Add the barley to the pot in small batches, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the barley from clumping together.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is what will give the risotto its flavor, so make sure to use a good quality broth that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add the vegetables and meat towards the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from overcooking and becoming mushy.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. This will help to prevent the barley from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Season the risotto to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a handful of grated Parmesan cheese.
