This was a pretty good side dish. I think it needs a little something extra for a little kick, but it's a very good start and one I can change around a bit to go with different dishes. Very good base recipe. Thanks!

    This was a lovely meal for us tonight, even DD polished off a whole bowl full. I used dehydrated mushrooms (a mix of morels, porcini, portabella, shiitake and oyster mushrooms) which I soaked first, then added the soak water to my veggie stock. I also used hulled barley rather than pearled barley, so it took a bit longer to cook and had a firmer bite. I also used a cheese mixture of parmesan, romano and smoked provolone, which melted nicely into the dish. Delicious! Thanks, Chia! Made for ZWT4.

    I enjoyed the varying tastes and textures in this. This was also the first time I have eaten barley as a main ingredient-usually I have used it as a complement to soups and stews. This was a nice change and was quite enjoyable. Thanks!

    I have just recently had a barley risotto at a restaurant. I loved it and found this recipe. It is absolutly wonderful. I added 2chopped pieces of fresh basil. Finally something perfect to compliment and Italian chicken such as marsala chicken. Best recipe I have found in years!
