Reduce pressure with a quick release method. Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape.
The risotto should be slightly soupy, but if there is more than about 1/3 cup o f unabsorbed liquid, drain off the excess at this point and return the barley t o the pot. While cooking over a low flame, stir in the cheese and parsley (if desired). Add salt to taste, and serve immediately.
Author's note: A hearty and economical alternative to risotto made with Arbori o rice, barley risotto has become a favorite stand-by when I yearn for somethin g simple and filling. Depending on my mood, I stir in blue cheese, which is as sertive in flavor and adds a wonderful creaminess, or Parmesan, which is more d elicate in taste and provides a slight crunch. Grated sharp Cheddar is also ta sty.
