Nutty pearl barley tastes great with the earthy beetroot and smoked bacon in this pretty pink risotto recipe.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook the bacon and onion, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until starting to crisp. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine. Simmer for 2 minutes or until reduced by half.
- Add the barley and beetroot to pan. Stir to combine. Add stock. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 40 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and barley is tender. Set aside, covered, for 2 minutes. Season well. Divide among plates. Top with basil, almonds and ricotta.
