I figured this would be the least favorite of this week's meals. I supplemented it with a tossed salad because I was sure my hubby wouldn't be crazy about this meal. I was wrong. He enjoyed it.
The dish called for fennel, which I had never used before. It really added a nice flavor to the risotto. The pearled barley was substituted for rice to give a new twist on risotto. The Romano beans (another new vegetable for me) was cooked into the risotto. After the barley was cooked, chopped parsley and Parmesan Cheese was stirred in. The dish was topped off with a nice cherry tomatoes marinated in ground fennel seeds and fresh basil.
