Fry 1 shallot and 2 cloves garlic in butter. Add the drained barley and stir 2 minutes. Add 200ml white wine and stir until absorbed. Add 800ml hot mushroom stock, a ladle at a time, stirring regularly for 40 minutes until creamy. Stir in 200g sautéed porcini and chestnut mushrooms, a large knob of butter, and grated Parmesan. The barley produces a creamier, nuttier orzotto than rice does risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNutritional Values per 100g (dry)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1485 kJ \/ 354 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOf Which Saturates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbohydrates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOf Which Sugars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.8g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.9g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚠️ Price note:\u003c\/strong\u003e PriceTape price £2.19 used (vs £2.09 source file).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Hulled Barley Grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between hulled barley and pearled barley?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHulled barley has only the outer husk removed — the bran and germ are intact, making it higher in fibre, beta-glucan, and minerals.
