    I wasn't sure about this since I really wasn't sure if I would like the barley, but this was an absolutely delicious dish. I followed the recipe with the exception of the fennel seeds since I didn't have any on hand. I will definitely make this again. Next time I will probably cut the butter in 1/2 and sub olive oil to increase the health bene as decribed by the last reviewer. Make this dish... you won't be disappointed.

    I love barley. It is so undervalued/unused. It's great for you and has quite a bit more texture and depth than Arborio rice.

    The modifications I made was to reduce the amount of butter by half and add in olive oil so a. the butter does not burn so fast and b. health benefits.

    I also omitted the fennel and ham. I just felt that was going to be over the top and I was really aiming at a very focused mushroom barley risotto. I also added in some very earthy mushrooms like Chanterelle or Black Trumpets and took out some of the button mushrooms.

    At the end when stirring in the cheese and flat leaf parsley, I added in a few drops of truffle oil.

    Note: pick your Parmesan carefully. You want something boutique.

    In the end you have a very robust mushroom risotto with blooming flavor and a texture that will impress anyone.

    YES ITS TASTY! LOVE ALL THE FLAVORS! USED A LITTLE LESS FENNEL JUST INCASE. USED A BIT MORE MUSHROOMS... COULD NOT FIND QUICK COOKING BARLEY. SO I JUST WENT ON WITH THE RECIPE HOPING FOR THE BEST. SET TIMER FOR 30 MINUTES I BELIEVE, AND LIQUID WAS ABOSERBED AT 25 MINUTES. ADD A FEW MORE DROPS OF BROTH AND ADDED THE REST OF INGREIDANTS. TASTE GREAT HAVE NOO IDEA IF BARLEY IS UNDERCOOKED CAUSE I DONT NORMALLY COOK WITH IT BUT SEEMS FINE UNDER THE CIRCUMASTANCE. GOOD LUCK
