The flavoring was good with a little extra salt added in the beginning. Like some other reviewers there was too much liquid after putting in the initial 2 cups of broth. I had to drain some off and did not add the last 1/2 cup.

Delicious! I would cut back on the 2 cups of broth to 1 3/4 cup and leave out the 1/2 cup at the end if I did it again, it was too liquidy. Also substituted peas for Asaparagus since thats what I had in the freezer, was divine!

This recipe is fantastic. Be sure to be liberal with the salt and pepper at the beginning and you won't have issues at the end. I did add a bit more cream cheese than it called for and it was well worth it!

Really good dish.
I added extra garlic, mushroom and subbed asparagas for broccoli.

The only issue I had was getting the rice/barley mixture to be tender, took a little longer than the recipe called for, but in the end it all turned out great and I'll be making it again and again!

It was a little wet at the end so I didn't add the last half cup of stock. I also added extra garlic. Overall, pretty tasty! I would make this again.

I didn't think this was at all similar to risotto, but that is not what bothered me about the dish. I expected something rich (because of the cream cheese but there just wasn't a whole lot of flavor. I think I could have used a little more salt to umph it up, but still, I wouldn't make this again.

I made this recipe because I wanted to try making new and different types of whole grains, plus, a bag of pearl barley is only $1. I've made risotto before and this is very close! The creaminess comes out quite well, it's my new fav. healthy recipe! Hands down 5 stars.
