    • Heat 50 ml of oil in a large pan over high heat. Pan fry sliced mushrooms until golden. Remove and keep warm.

  2. Risotto

    • Heat remaining oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook until onion is just tender. Add barley and stir to coat. 
    • Combine KNORR Vegetable Booster and KNORR Intense Flavour Roast Umami with 2 L of warm water.
