Pearly Barley Risotto

From this point forward, barley will be your new best friend. Unlike plain white rice, pearl barley is an excellent source of fibre and protein, to keep you full and energised longer.

Ingredients
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Diced Shallots or Onions
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 cup mixed Mushrooms of all the types available.
1 Teaspoon Nutty Yogi Italian Seasoning or mixed herbs of your choice
1/2 Teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
1 Cup Pearl Barley (soaked overnight and par boiled)
4 - 4 1/2 Cups Vegetable Stock
2 Tablespoons Balsamic, Apple Cider, or Red Wine Vinegar
1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast (for vegan options) // Parmesan

Instructions:
Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once melted or shimmering, add onions and saute until softened and translucent; about 5 - 6 minutes.
Mix in all the herbs and seasonings, followed by the barley. Stir thoroughly and saute for 4 - 5 minutes longer to gently toast the grains. Gently pour 4 cups of the stock in, followed by the vinegar. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let cook for 30 - 35 minutes, until the grains are tender and the liquid has almost entirely been absorbed.
Add the cheese cooking for just a minute
Turn off the heat and stir in the creamy finish of your choice. Serve hot!
