Ingredients:

Serving

6 1/2 cups low-salt chicken broth
6 tbsp unsalted european-style butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 cups pearl barley (about 13 oz), rinsed, drained
1 6-oz package 3-inch-diameter portobello mushrooms, stemmed, gills scraped, caps sliced
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 oz)
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
1 tbsp chopped fresh italian parsley
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil

Directions:

Bring broth to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Add barley; stir until coated with butter, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup broth; simmer, stirring often, until broth is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more and stirring frequently until barley is tender but still firm to bite and risotto is creamy, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, herbs, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter to risotto; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide risotto among bowls and serve.
