I love risotto!! I love way the rice glistens as each grain is coated with oil, I love the sound o the white wine hitting the hot pan, , I love adding the stock one ladleful at a time and watching the rice plump up, I love standing at the stove stirring until the creamy starch is released from the rice..... I love risotto!
A few months ago I was in the Calgary airport for a 10 hour layover (!!!!!!!) and bought many food magazines to keep me company, one of them being Rachel Ray. She drives me a bit crazy on TV but the magazine had some pretty good recipes in it, including this one for risotto using pearl barley instead of rice... I made it and it was delicious!! Barley has a lot more fibre in it than arbario rice but the flavour and texture were great - this is a new addition to my cache of comfort food recipes.
