Risotto With Mushroom & Saffron
Advertisement
When I received the Hakubaku Oomugi Barley from GoIndiaOrganic through the Plattershare Belly Nirvana Program . I was quite confused as to what unique dish can I present by using this super grain.
Since there was a simple recipe on its back cover (Rice+Barley) , the Italian food lover in me screamed out Risotto 🙂 Did you know - Oomugi is usually referred to as "Barley" in Japanese! The Hakumagu Ooomugi contains twelve times the dietary fibre , 3 times the calcium and twice the qty of Vitamin B2 found in normal rice - that's why its a super grain which gives an immense health boost when added to your meals with no compromise on the calorie count.
