Winter calls for warming and nourishing foods, which means that you can’t go past this take on the classic risotto. Pearl barley adds a light and fluffy component that compliments the tender Swiss mushrooms and sharpness of rocket and parmesan.

Ingredients

Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Olive oil

1 tbs

Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Pearl barley

1 cup(s), rinsed, drained

Garlic

2 clove(s), crushed

Swiss brown mushrooms

500 g, thickly sliced

Vegetable stock, liquid, salt-reduced

3¾ cup(s), (935ml)

Fresh rosemary

1 tbs, (1 sprig)

Rocket

40 g

Shaved parmesan cheese

20 g

Instructions

  1. Lightly spray bowl of a 4.5L (18-cup) slow cooker with oil. Heat half the olive oil in a large deep non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened. Add barley and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer to slow cooker.
  2. Heat remaining oil in frying pan and cook mushroom, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft and liquid has evaporated. Add to slow cooker. Stir in 3 cups (750ml) stock and add the rosemary. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
  3. Heat remaining stock and stir into risotto. Divide between bowls and top with rocket and parmesan. Season with pepper.
