Mark Peel's Barley Risotto
Ingredients List
- 1/2 c Barley
- 1/2 c Short-grain rice
- 3 tb Butter
- 1/2 lb Mushrooms; sliced
- 1/2 c Chicken broth
- Salt to taste
Directions
In a large (at least 2-quart) pot, bring 6 cups of salted water to a boil.
Add the barley and rice and let simmer for 25 minutes, or until tender.
Drain any water that remains after the barley and rice are cooked.
Melt the butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms and slowly cook over
low heat for about 7 to 10 minutes. Mix in the cooked barley and rice and
the chicken broth. Salt to taste and serve.
NOTE: "Mark Peel, the chef of Campanile Restaurant in Los Angeles, made up
this dish, which is greater than the sum of its parts. This is a speedy
risottolike dish. Intermingled, the earthy flavors of mushrooms, barley,
and rice taste unexpectedly new and different."
