Presented by SaleWhale

Ingredients

4 1/2 cups	chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
2 teaspoons	butter
1 cup	finely chopped onion
1 cup	pearl barley
2 teaspoons	chopped fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried
1	bay leaf
2 teaspoons	olive oil
1 pound	assorted fresh mushrooms
1	garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons	chopped fresh Italian parsley

Preparation

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.

Add barley, thyme, bay leaf and 2 cups warm chicken stock; bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until most of stock is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Add remaining stock 1/2 cup at a time, allowing stock to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until barley is tender, about 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat oil in another large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add mushrooms; sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Mix in parsley and barley mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon risotto into bowls and serve immediately.
