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.

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
10 ounces pearl barley (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium carrot, very thinly sliced into rounds (about 1 cup)
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. Add mushrooms and remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in barley, carrot and 4 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, transfer to the oven and bake until barley is tender and chewy and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  • Stir in Parmesan and the butter until slightly thickened and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide among shallow bowls. Sprinkle with chives and more Parmesan, to taste.

BARLEY RISOTTO WITH MUSHROOMS



Barley Risotto with Mushrooms image

Delicious and filling, this is barley cooked risotto style, with lots of mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. A great meatless main or a delicious side dish.

Provided by Jennifer

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Tbsp butter (DIVIDED)
1 shallot (minced)
2 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms (about 1 standard tray)
1/4 tsp fresh thyme leaves (plus more for garnish)
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup pearl barley
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 cups beef broth (hot)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
Additional fresh thyme leaves
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the beef broth in a saucepan and keep warm.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook, stirring, until starting to soften. Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring regularly until mushrooms are tender and lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes. Add the barley and the remaining 1 Tbsp butter. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook until the wine is absorbed, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add one ladle of the hot beef broth and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring once or twice, until nearly all of the broth has been absorbed. *You don't want to boil the mixture too vigorously, but you do want a consistent simmer. Adjust heat to that point. Continue adding broth, one ladle at a time, allowing the it to cook until the liquid is absorbed before adding another ladle. Cook until all the broth is added. Test the barley. You want it to be al dente. If it is not quite there, add another ladle of hot water (or broth, if you have more available) and cook a bit longer. When barley is cooked, stir in grated Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
  • Season dish with salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste. Serve with additional grated Parmesan and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs or fresh thyme leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right barley: Opt for pearl barley, a medium-grain barley that cooks quickly and has a slightly chewy texture.
  • Toast the barley: Toasting the barley in a little olive oil before cooking brings out its nutty flavor.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth forms the base of the risotto, so use a flavorful one such as vegetable, chicken, or mushroom broth.
  • Cook the risotto slowly: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient and stir it frequently to prevent it from sticking.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Add the broth to the risotto a little at a time, allowing it to absorb each addition before adding more.
  • Stir until creamy: Keep stirring the risotto until it reaches a creamy consistency, about 18-20 minutes.
  • Finish with cheese and butter: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and a knob of butter just before serving to add richness and flavor.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Top the finished risotto with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This barley risotto with wild mushrooms and Parmesan cheese is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
