Comfort Food
Today the weather turned for the WORSE and we have had very cold temperatures, gale force winds blowing roofs off houses and sheet-rain.? This called for some comfort food and a few days I saw a great dish I was inspired to cook on a great blog, Claire?s, Claire K Creations.
Chicken and Barley Stew
Serves:? 5
Degree of Difficulty:? 2/5
Cost:? This fed my family for less than $20.00 and there is some left over for lunch boxes tomorrow.
Great on a wet windy night!
Claire cooks this dish in a slow cooker and as the two of us have conversed, I don?t have one.? So I cooked this dish like I would cook a risotto by heating the olive oil in a heavy based saucepan, then adding the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and cooking until tender.? I then added the barley, stirred until combined, threw in the herbs (I used fresh herbs), added the chickened, seasoned, then added the stock.? That?s where the similarity with a risotto ends because instead of stirring until I had an ache in my elbow I put a lid on the saucepan and simmered over a low heat for 40 minutes (checked it after 30 as don?t like to eat burnt food).? I removed the saucepan lid, gave it a good stir, then threw in the chopped parsley.
You can find the recipe on Claire?s blog and why not subscribe!? She is a fabulous cook who blogs almost everyday and her attention to detail and range of cuisine and recipes is outstanding.
