Steps:

• in olive oil, saute onion and garlic until softened.
• add mushrooms, cook until browning.
• add barley and cook for 5 minutes until lightly toasted.
• add white wine, add 3 c stock, tomato, salt& pepper.
• bring to boil, cover and simmer 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• add peas and some additional broth if needed, simmer an additional 10-15 minutes stir in cheese, and more salt& pepper if needed.

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the chicken and fry for 5 mins or until well-browned on all sides. Tip in the vegetables and cook for a further 5 mins until starting to soften. Add the garlic and pearl barley, then pour over 500ml water. Cover and leave to simmer for 25-30 mins, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, put all the dressing ingredients in the small bowl of a food processor and blitz until very finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside until serving.
• When the pearl barley is soft, but still with a little bite, and most of the liquid has been absorbed, it's ready to serve. Season to taste and divide the risotto between two plates, adding spoonfuls of the dressing, to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a 1 1/2-quart Dutch oven or oven-safe pot over medium heat and cook onion until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add celery and cook until starting to soften, stirring often, about 5 more minutes. Mix barley into the vegetables and stir until coated with butter. Fold mushrooms and green pepper into barley mixture; season to taste with salt and black pepper. Pour chicken broth into barley mixture and bring to a boil; cover casserole dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until barley is nearly tender, about 30 minutes; uncover casserole dish and bake barley until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 15 more minutes. Adjust salt and black pepper before serving.

Steps:

• Bring chicken broth to a simmer. In a separate large saucepan on an adjacent burner, heat the oil and add barley. Lightly saute: you actually are toasting the barley. Add vegetables to the barley and saute them until translucent. Add bay leaf and garlic. Begin slowly adding broth, 1 ladle-full at a time, to the barley/vegetable pan, stirring occasionally: this will bring out the starch in the barley. As the mixture absorbs the broth, ladle more into the pot. When all of the broth has been ladled into the barley pot, slowly simmer until barley is soft and creamy. Add butter as the last step for more flavor and creaminess to risotto.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a standing electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until foamy. Add the cream of tartar and salt and beat until stiff peaks form. Beat in the sugar, a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and glossy, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the egg whites to a large, wide bowl. Using a fine sieve, gradually sift the flour over the egg whites, gently folding in the flour with a spatula. Fold in the vanilla and almond extracts.
• Scrape the batter into a 10-inch angel food cake pan. Using a table knife, slice through the cake batter several times to release any large air bubbles. Tap the cake pan once or twice on a flat surface. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 35 minutes longer, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert the pan onto the neck of a wine bottle and let cool completely.
• To loosen the cake, run a thin-bladed knife around the side and tube of the pan. Unmold the cake and transfer to a platter. Cut the cake into wedges and drizzle with some of the reserved syrup. Serve with the sliced peaches and whipped cream.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, deep pan, then gently fry the onion for 3-4 minutes
• Stir in the pearl barley, sizzle for a few mins, then pour in about a third of the stock.
• Simmer fiercely for 20 mins, stirring occasionally, adding more stock gradually as it is absorbed.
• With 5 mins to go, stir in the peas. After 20 mins there should be some liquid left and the barley should be cooked through.
• Turn the heat off under the risotto and let it sit for a min, then stir in the cream cheese and most of the chives.
• Season well and serve scattered with the rest of the chives.

Steps:

• Start off by trimming and cutting away excess fat off the meat.
• Pat the pieces dry and in a bowl toss them with flour.
• In a heavy-based saucepan, over high heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and brown the meat pieces in small batches and then remove and set aside in a bowl.
• In the same saucepan, over medium heat add in the rest of the olive oil and add in the chopped onions, garlic and bay leaves and saute till translucent, takes about 10 minutes.
• Return the browned meat pieces to the pot and add in the dried thyme and give it all a good stir.
• Sprinkle pearl barley on top and pour in all of the stock and season with salt and pepper.
• Increase the heat and bring it to a simmering point.
• Spoon off any scum that rises to the surface, then cover the pan with a well-fitting lid and leave to simmer over a low heat for an hour, stirring occasionally.
• After the hour is up, spoon off scum if any and then add in the potatoes and carrots and give all a good stir and leave it cook for another hour.
• Carefully stir in 2 tbsp of chopped parsley and take it off heat.
• Garnish with the remaining 1 tbsp of chopped parsley and serve!

Steps:

• In a 3-quart microwave-safe casserole with a tight-fitting lid microwave 1 tablespoon of the butter, uncovered, at high power (100%) for 1 minute, or until it is melted, stir in the mushrooms, the garlic, and the salt, and microwave the mixture, uncovered, at high power for 5 minutes. Add the barley and the water, microwave the mixture, covered, at high power for 12 minutes, and microwave it, covered, at medium power (50%) for 25 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the barley is al dente. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits, the Parmesan, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast barley on a rimmed baking sheet until light golden brown and fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
• Bring broth to a boil in large saucepan; reduce heat to low and keep broth warm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add barley, thyme, bay leaf, and 2 cups warm broth to skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often, until broth is almost absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add remaining broth by 1/2-cupfuls, allowing it to be absorbed before adding more and stirring often, until barley is tender and mixture is creamy, 40-50 minutes (you may not use all the broth). Remove bay leaf.
• Meanwhile, cook spinach and parsley in a large pot of boiling salted water until leaves are bright green and just wilted, about 5 seconds. Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Drain and squeeze well to remove excess water.
• Coarsely chop spinach and parsley, then purée with oil and a splash of water in a blender, adding more water as needed, until smooth. Set spinach purée aside.
• Mix garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice into barley mixture, then mix in Parmesan 1/4-cupful at a time, stirring until melted and well combined before adding more. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
• Remove barley risotto from heat and mix in spinach purée and herbs; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Put the pearl barley into a saucepan and add enough water to cover generously. Add the stock cubes, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours until tender, topping up the water if necessary.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan or wok and gently saute the saffron, onion, and pepper for 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and bacon, and fry on a higher heat for a further 5 minutes.
• Add the garlic, most of the thyme leaves, paprika, wine, tomatoes, and peas. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the prawns and simmer for 2 minutes to heat them through.
• Drain the pearl barley thoroughly and stir it into the other ingredients, making sure it's piping hot. Serve immediately, garnished with a few thyme sprigs.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet, then add the onion and cook gently for 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the pearl barley and continue to cook, stirring, for a few minutes.
• Pour in the wine and simmer until it is absorbed.
• Pour in the stock a quarter at a time and simmer until the stock is absorbed before adding more. It should take 45 minutes or so for all the stock to be absorbed.
• 10 minutes before finishing cooking, stir in the peas. Continue to simmer until nearly all the liquid is absorbed.
• Turn off the heat, stir in the cream cheese and most of the chives.
• Season with salt and pepper to your taste and serve with the remaining chives scattered over the top.
