Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan, add the shallots and cook for 2 minutes, until the onions begin to soften.

    Add pearl barley, fennel seeds, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste, fry for 4 minutes.

    Add mushrooms, rosemary and wine, cook, stirring, until the wine is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add the chicken broth, cover, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the barley is tender and almost all the liquid has been absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes.
