Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat.
Add onions and garlic and sauté for 1-minute.
Add the barley and cook for 1-minute stirring.
Now, add the wine or white Balsamico and cook until it is evaporated.
Then add all the vegetable stock to risotto skillet, stir well and cover it.
Reduce heat to low and simmer risotto, stirring frequently, for 45 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. By then it should be thick and creamy.

Cook for 5–10 more minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the grain is tender.
Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
