Barley risotto with feta and kale is of course is non-traditional. There’s no parmesan, no white wine, no butter. Instead this is a risotto made with pearl barley, tomatoes, winter greens and Greek feta. The spices used for this recipe are smoked paprika, fresh thyme, bay leaf and red pepper flakes, which add depth and a warm aroma to the tomatoes and earthiness of the barley. So when you\u2019re craving carbs and comfort, this is your dish. It’s vegetarian and flavorful enough to serve for company, but simple enough for a weeknight meal. And… it makes great leftovers!<\/p>\n

What kind of barley to use<\/h2>\n

Okay, first a quick barley run-down: there are two common types of barley, hulled and pearl. This is a pearled barley recipe. Hulled barley retains the outer bran layer, while pearl barley has some or all of the outer bran layer along with the hull removed. And although hulled barley contains more fiber, it takes a lot longer to cook. Thus comes in pearl barley. It doesn\u2019t take any longer than cooking a traditional risotto. And time is of the essence when you want to get a nutritious meal on the table midweek. Nutritious? Yes! Pearl barley still offers a decent amount of fiber and nutrients and. So even though peal barley is somewhat refined, it is still healthy and very good for you.
