Lemon Pearl Barley Risotto with Chard, Parsley and Almonds
Introduction
With ordinary risottos, I always think the magic happens when you add the Parmesan at the end; in this vegan version, almond butter does the same job, for a dish which is so warming and rich you’d be hard pressed to know it was completely plant-based. A lovely midweek or weekend dinner.
Ingredients

| boiling vegetable stock | |
| garlic, unpeeled | |
| rainbow chard, cut into 1cm slices | |
