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.

MUSHROOM & SPINACH RISOTTO



Mushroom & Spinach Risotto image

I had never tried mushroom spinach risotto until a trip to Paris a few years ago. Since then, I worked hard to create a recipe that tasted similar, and I think I finally succeeded with this version. It is very rich and indulgent! I often add cubed cooked chicken to make this a more satisfying and protein-packed main dish. —Sandi Ogden, Clinton, Missouri

1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 pound assorted fresh mushrooms (such as oyster, stemmed portobello and stemmed shiitake), sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Bring chicken stock to boil in heavy medium saucepan. Remove from heat, cover and set aside.
  • Melt 2 teaspoons butter in large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the shrimp, mushrooms, and spinach, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the barley risotto until it is al dente. The barley should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste before serving.
