Barley Risotto with Spinach and Gorgonzola-2

Hi, today I am sharing some lovely Barley Risotto with Spinach and Gorgonzola. This is really tasty, I didn’t  think it would be as good as a risotto but I was really wrong.

Barley Risotto with Spinach and Gorgonzola-5

I did find that the barley did take a bit longer than a risotto to cook but I will definitely be making a risotto with barley again 🙂 .

If you have finished you stock but it need a little extra cooking just add a small amount of water until cooked.

Today is just a short post but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  I hope the rest of your week goes well and I will be back on Friday with a post on some yummy muffins that you will be able to bake over the weekend.  Just a little hint … don’t throw any old bananas away 😉

I hope you enjoy xx
