Pearl barley is cooked like risotto but forgives far more: it releases starch more slowly and doesn't overcook in thirty seconds. The soaking water from the dried porcini is never thrown away — most of the flavour is in it — it just needs straining for grit. But enough talking — let's go straight to loading the ingredients into Liffo!

Tips

It is suggested to use pearl barley with about 25-30 minutes of cooking. Prefer dried porcini mushrooms, to be soaked before adding to the container. Speck can be replaced with another cured meat like pancetta or guanciale. It is recommended to prefer floury potatoes which give more creaminess to the final result.

Plating

Season as desired with a pinch of black pepper and a mixture of aromatic herbs.
