Barley Risotto with Garlic Spinach and Mascarpone is a hearty and flavorful dish that is a twist on the classic risotto. Instead of using Arborio rice, this recipe uses barley, which adds a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. The risotto is cooked with garlic, vegetable broth, and Parmesan cheese, and then topped with sautéed spinach and creamy mascarpone. It is a delicious and satisfying vegetarian meal that can be enjoyed any time of the year.
