SERVINGS
8
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup diced onion
1 1/2 quarts vegetable broth
4 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushroom caps
1 small head of radicchio, quartered, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup uncooked pearl barley
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

PREPARATION
1. Heat the olive oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in half the radicchio and the grains and cook another 2 minutes. Mix in the white wine and cook until reduced to about a tablespoon. Cook, stirring occasionally until thick and slightly soupy and the grains are tender, about 50 - 55 minutes.

4. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the remaining radicchio. Remove from heat; stir in the Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
