description
Prepared with barley instead of traditional rice, the orzotto is equally versatile and delicious. Today I propose one of my favorite ideas, combining it with red radicchio and sage.
preparation
step 1
First cut the onion into thin slices and put it in a fairly large pot with a thick bottom. Add the finely chopped sage and season with the two tablespoons of oil. Pour a couple of tablespoons of hot water and cook over low heat.
step 2
Meanwhile cut the radicchio into strips and add it to the onion. Add salt and continue to stew the vegetables until they are tender.
step 3
At this point, add the previously rinsed barley and cover it with twice the volume of hot water. In this case it will take about 4 cups.
step 4
Stir and let the orzotto simmer for 30 minutes with the lid half open and without touching it.
step 5
After 30 minutes, mix a few moments so that the cream is formed. Turn off the heat, add the remaining oil and mix again. Leave the orzotto to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
