Ingredients

    2 tbsp. olive oil
    6 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

    1 tsp. coarse sea salt
    2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
    1 1/2 cups pot barley

    3/4 cup white wine
    3 cups beef (or mushroom) stock

    1/4 cup butter
    3/4 cup shredded parmesan

Directions

Heat the stock in a small pot. Keep warm.


Heat the olive oil in a pot big enough for everything. Add the mushrooms and cook on high-ish heat until nicely browned and most of the water has evaporated. Add the salt, rosemary, pepper to taste and barley. Stir around for a couple of minutes until the barley starts to toast.


Add the wine. Allow to boil, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add ladle-fuls of the stock to the barley, stirring after each addition, until you have a creamy texture, the barley is cooked and the stock is almost all incorporated.


Stir in the butter and parmesan and serve. Serves 6 as a side or 4 as a main.
