Our mushroom barley risotto is a warm and comforting dish made with soft pearl barley, mushrooms, and butterbeans, all cooked together in a creamy, cheesy sauce. Serve with peas and broccoli and it’s a nourishing meal that’s perfect for happy little tummies.

Pearl barley and butterbeans provide a natural source of fibre and plant based protein, while mushrooms, onions, and herbs contribute important vitamins and minerals. The milk, crème fraîche, and cheese also provide calcium, supporting strong bones and teeth for growing children.

With its soft, creamy texture alongside tender grains and blended beans this dish is satisfying for all ages. We recommend serving with peas or broccoli and bread and butter to create a balanced, nourishing meal that supports the energy and nutrient needs of growing children.
