I'm not usually a fan of mushrooms, but they were cooked to perfection in this risotto. They were tender and flavorful, and they added a nice umami flavor to the dish.

I was skeptical about using barley instead of rice in a risotto, but I was pleasantly surprised. The barley held its shape well and added a nutty flavor to the dish.
