Dear All,
My mom cooked something for me yesterday that I swear took me the full way to spiritual zion. (Well, no it's not a psychedelic, but you know what I mean, it was so good it took me to a place of sublime pleasure that was previously unreached.
Barleyotto (Barley Risotto)
Chop 2 leeks
4 cloves of Garlic
Water
Italian style seasoning (dried herbs consisting of oregano, basil, red peppers, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley.
Black pepper
Paprika
Add to a large pan and put the ingridients above in an oven on a low heat (no 3/4) for about 1 1/2 hours.
After 1 hour of letting it boil, put some barley in a pan and boil for 30 minutes. This will mean it is ready when the pan in the oven has been boiling for 1 1/2 hours.
Add the barley, including the barley water, into the pot in the oven.
Next, fry as many mushrooms as you would like (we really went for this and did 3 pan fulls) on a high heat in olive oil. Put them in the pot.
Let the pot marinate for at least an hour; (the next day is even better).
Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------
It was SO good. It took me to a level of pleasure that I had previously not reached! You've got to try this, if you have taste buds similar to me.
I know you're not meant to have emotional attatchment to food and such, but this is an exception for me.
All the best,
Joe
