1 onion, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the barley and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until the barley is lightly toasted. Add the garlic, onion, and mushrooms, and cook, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the barley is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Add the asparagus and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the asparagus is just cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the risotto hot with additional salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
