Risotto with only 3 basic ingredients and healthier than normal ones...of course you can use rice instead, but we chose to use pearl barley instead.
ingredients (about 3 serves): 1tbs olive oil, 250 asparagus cut into 4 cm pieces (don't get large asparagus!), 1 onion finely chopped, 1 cup pear-barley, 2 vegetable stock cubes plus 3 1/2 cups of warm water, salt and pepper, chopped chives and lemon juice (* parmesan cheese - optional)
1. Heat olive oil in saucepan and add onion cooking until it gets soft;
2. Add barley, stirring to coat;
3. Add stock cubes dissolved in water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook for about 20 minutes (or until barley is cooked)
4. Add asparagus, cook stirring for another 10 minutes or until most water evaporates;
5. Season with salt, sprinkle with chopped chives, add a drizzle of lemon or balsamic vinegar and you're done.
Great by itself or with some nice grilled fish!
