Balsamic Barley Orzotto Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Balsamic Barley Orzotto Recipe). Rather than a risotto rice, I use pearled barley for this orzotto. Prep time is almost nil if you have a food processor to deal with chopping the onion for you. I like serving this with asparagus and Quorn® 'chicken'. Parmesan balsamic sauces go well alongside this. You can substitute cream for the milk if you want it a bit heavier.
