This was delicious! I made it with regular (non instant) pearled barley and used presliced baby bella mushrooms. Cooked in Instant Pot for 22 minutes and it came out creamy and perfect. No more 45 minutes over the stove for my risotto anymore. Thank you!

In reply to Morrianne. Hi Morrianne. Thanks for your feedback! I believe I used regular barley but I know that barley also varies from brand to brand which might be the reason.

Very chewy. I needed to cook much longer. I’m in Australia – maybe in USA they use quick cook barley which takes less time to cook. The flavour was nice.

In reply to Doris. Hi Doris. I am afraid I would have to test it to see if it works. Perhaps just brown the ground meat separately on a stove with your favorite seasoning and add to the risotto at the very end. I'd say that it does not matter what kind of broth you use - whatever you have on hand will work. Hope this helps!

How would I incorporate some ground beef into this recipe. My husband loves meat. Should I use beef broth instead of vegetable broth? This recipe looks so good and he loves barley. Thank you.

I seem to forget to use barley and this recipe makes it all look so easy! I definitely need to make this.

Would not have thought about making risotto in an Instant Pot! Love how creamy it looks!

I love risotto, but I have never done it with barley. Such a great idea!
