Steps:
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir carrots 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini and yellow squash; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Heat chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat; reduce heat to low and keep warm.
- Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a separate large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Cook and stir barley into onion mixture until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour about 2 cups warm broth into barley mixture; reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until broth is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.

Stir in carrot mixture, butter, and Parmesan cheese until cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

ULTIMATE RISOTTO PRIMAVERA
We consulted no less than three great Italian cooks to come up with this classic spring vegetable risotto

Steps:
- If using fresh broad beans, drop them into boiling water, leave for 1 min, then drain and cool under cold water. Peel off the skins. For frozen beans, just thaw, then peel. Chop the shallots, spring onions and garlic as finely as you possibly can. Snap the woody bases from the asparagus spears and discard. Slice each spear into 4 diagonal pieces. Pour the stock into a separate pan and bring to a simmer.
- Heat the oil and half the butter in a heavy, wide pan. Tip in the shallots, spring onions and garlic and cook for 3-4 mins until soft and see-through, but not brown, stirring often. With the heat on medium, add the rice and keep it moving with a wooden spoon for a few mins so it gets toasted, but not coloured, and very hot. Once it starts to hiss and sizzle, pour in the wine. Keep stirring for about a min until the wine has evaporated.
- Put the timer on for 20 mins (it takes 18-20 mins to add the stock), now add 11⁄2 ladles of stock, letting it simmer, not boil. Keep stirring until all the liquid is absorbed, scraping the sides of the pan to catch any stray bits of rice. Continue to stir and add a ladleful of stock once the previous amount has been absorbed. (If you add too much stock at a time the risotto won't be as creamy.) The rice tells you when it needs more stock. You will hear it sigh and when you pull a spoon across the bottom of the pan it should leave a clear line
- After 14 mins add the beans and peas to the rice with some seasoning. At the same time, drop the asparagus into the stock and let it simmer for 4 mins, then lift out with a slotted spoon and add to the rice. Start tasting the rice now too - when done it should be softened, but with a bit of bite in the centre, almost chewy, and the risotto creamy - overcooking just makes it mushy. Continue adding stock and stirring until done (you may have a little stock left). Take the pan off the heat, add half the parmesan and the rest of the butter plus a splash of stock to keep everything moist. Put the lid on the pan and leave for 3 mins to rest. Serve with the remaining parmesan.

GRILLED RISOTTO PRIMAVERA
Steps:
- Brush asparagus with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, until just cooked through. Cut on the bias into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Use side burner or preheat grill. (Have stock simmering on grill or burner) Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the onions and shallots and cook until soft. Add the rice and stir to coat with the oil. Add the wine and completely reduce. Begin adding the stock 1 cup at a time, stir until absorbed. Repeat with the remaining stock and continue cooking until al dente. Fold in the asparagus, corn and peas and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and fold in the basil. Serve with Parmesan cheese on the side.
RISOTTO ALLA PRIMAVERA (HARRY'S BAR)
Steps:
- For the rice: Bring all the stock to a simmer or heat it as you go along in the microwave (broth must be hot when added to the rice) Heat the olive oil in a heavy, large saucepan. Add onion and cook until golden but not brown. Add the rice and stir with a wooden spoon to coat the rice. Turn the heat to high and add 1/2 cup of the hot broth. You will need to stir constantly until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth in 1/2 cup increments, stirring until each increment is absorbed. This will take at least 20 minutes. (Half way through this process you will add the vegetable mixture, below) You may have to adjust the heat from time to time but the risotto needs to keep boiling, but must not stick to the pot. The rice, when done, should be tender but with still the slightest bit of firmness. When all liquid is absorbed. remove from heat and stir in butter and Parmesan. Mix well until creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Parmesan for sprinkling. Vegetables primavera Heat oil in pot. Add the garlic to flavor the oil. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the basil and oregano. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini, broccoli, bell pepper, tomatoes and leek. Raise head and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, until veggies are just cooked. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in an oversize, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot. Add the leek, season lightly with salt and pepper, stir and cover. Cook for 3 minutes until soft. Place the broth in a separate saucepan and simmer.
- Add the rice to the leek and stir to combine. Ladle in 1/2 cup of the broth and stir. Increase the heat to medium-high and, for the next 25 minutes, continue adding the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and stirring constantly. After 15 minutes, add the white wine and carrot. After 5 more minutes, add the zucchini, asparagus and peas. Stir well. The rice should be tender but firm. If not, add more broth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Beat 1/2 cup of ricotta into the rice. Add the spinach. Divide the rice among 4 bowls. Top each with a spoonful of the remaining ricotta. Sprinkle with parsley and chives and serve.

Steps:
- Cut the woody ends off the asparagus, then slice the stems into 5cm diagonal lengths. Heat half the oil in a large, wide non-stick frying pan. Tip in the asparagus and stir-fry over a medium-high heat for about 4 mins or until nicely browned all over (Step 1). Stir in the spring onions and fry for 1-2 mins with the asparagus until browned. Remove, season with pepper and set aside. Cook the peas and beans separately in a little boiling water for 3 mins each, then drain each through a sieve. When the broad beans are cool enough to handle, pop them out of their skins. Set the peas and beans to one side. Mix the basil, chives, mint and lemon zest together in a small bowl and season with pepper (Step 2). Set aside.
- Pour the stock into a saucepan and keep it on a very low heat. Pour the remaining oil into a large, wide sauté pan. Tip in the shallots and garlic, and fry for 3-4 mins until soft and only slightly brown. Stir in the rice and continue to stir for 1-2 mins over a medium-high heat. As it starts to sizzle, pour in the wine and stir again until the wine has been absorbed. Start to stir in the hot stock, 1½ ladlefuls at a time (Step 3), so it simmers and is absorbed after each addition. To tell when it is ready to have the next 1½ ladlefuls added, drag the spoon across the bottom of the pan and it should leave a clear line. Keep stirring the whole time, to keep the risotto creamy. Continue adding the stock as above - after 20 mins the rice should be soft with a bit of chew in the middle. If it isn't, add more stock - you should still have at least a ladleful of stock left at this point. Season with pepper, you shouldn't need to add any salt.
- Take the pan off the heat. Pour over a ladleful of the remaining stock to keep the mixture fluid, then scatter over all the vegetables, a grinding of pepper, half of the herb mix (Step 4) and half the cheese. Cover with the pan lid and let the risotto sit for 3-4 mins to rest. Gently stir everything together, if necessary adding a drop more remaining stock for good consistency. Ladle into serving dishes and serve topped with a small pile of rocket and the rest of the herbs and cheese scattered over.
