What do we mean by “risotto style”? You’ll know when you dig into this dish. Its creamy texture delivers the comfort-food satisfaction of classic risotto using barley, a good-for-you whole grain. Baby peas and grated Parmesan add savory richness to the recipe. Stir 1 or 2 diced carrots and/or celery stalks into the slow cooker along with the shallots for more flavor and color.
