      Title: Pearl Barley Risotto
 Categories: Grains
      Yield: 1 servings
 
      1 tb Butter (optional)
      1 tb Olive oil
      1 lg White onion
      3 cl Garlic (optional)
    200 g  Pearl barley (leftover from
           - making Barley water.)
    100 ml White wine or martini
    600 ml Stock
     50 g  Parmesan or Pecorino;
           - up to 100 g, grated
           Seasoning
 
  This recipe uses a pressure cooker for frying as well as making the
  risotto. This avoids the need to stand over it adding stock a bit at a
  time.
  
  Fry the onion & garlic (if used) in the oil (or oil & butter) for 3
  minutes or until soft. Add the barley to coat in the remaining oil &
  stir well for 1 minute. Add the wine & continue to stir until it has
  reduced by half. Then add the stock & stir well. Season to taste.
  Seal the pressure cooker & bring to high pressure. Maintain high
  pressure for 8 minutes then allow to de-pressurize naturally. Stir
  well as it will look very wet, then stir in the cheese. You can also
  add more butter.
  
  This has a very different texture to regular rice based risottos.
