Method

  1. Heat the oil in a sauté pan and soften the onion for 5 minutes over a medium heat. Stir through the barley and toast for 2 minutes. Increase the heat, pour over the wine and bubble until reduced by half. Pour over the hot stock and leave to simmer gently for 12 minutes until the stock is absorbed and the barley is tender, topping up with more stock if necessary.
  2. Meanwhile heat the mushrooms according to the pack instructions, then season and stir in with the parsley and half the blue cheese. Divide between bowls, scatter with the remaining cheese and serve.
