Inspired by traditional Italian risotto, this is a comforting and nourishing winter dish that's easy to prepare and packed with anti-cancer nutrients: immune-boosting mushrooms, onions and garlic with their multiple cancer-protective effects, anti-inflammatory thyme and pasrley, and barley, a very low-glycemic grain that's a rich source of fibers (which nourish our healthy intestinal bacteria and help to lower cholesterol), estrogen-balancing lignans and anti-cancer mineral selenium. If you don't tolerate gluten, replace barley in this recipe with a low-GI rice such as basmati. To boost protein content, add a little cubed, cooked chicken breast or a few squares of unprocessed tofu.
