To make the base of this deliciously light pearl barley risotto, our Chefs begin by sweating chopped carrot, onion and garlic slowly in olive oil until the onions are soft and sweet. They then add white wine to the vegetable mix, and allow the white wine to reduce by half to remove any alcohol and leave just the flavour. The Chefs then stir in lemon juice and vegetable stock, along with chopped chives to add a freshness to the dish.

This risotto is made with pearl barley – this is barley with all the bran removed, giving the round, shiny grains a pearlescent white colour. It has a slight nutty flavour which works really well in the dish. The pearl barley is partially cooked by our Chefs to ensure that it is perfectly al dente when reheated by the customer. The dish is garnished with king prawns as well as leeks, which have been lightly sweated to add a fresh flavour to the dish.
