What do we love about our mushroom barley risotto?

With its soft, creamy texture alongside tender grains and blended beans this dish is easy satisfying for all ages. Pearl barley and butterbeans provide a natural source of fibre and plant base 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.
