review 29/56 Barley Risotto Verde

Barley Risotto Verde Plated
This is a great recipe, although a little time consuming.  I followed it mostly exactly except for the chives, unattainable at this time, so used freeze dried instead.   This recipe has the makings of a good side dish.  I love the way the wine is added and then you cook it until it evaporates.   I can't wait to find out why that makes it taste so good.  Is it the sugar or the sweetness in the Sauvignon, is there something about any wine when added to a dish makes it better?  
I would love this dish as a side to a freshly caught fish, or maybe with a bright red vegetable soup or maybe......with tomorrow's sandwich.   I went with Feta cheese instead of goat cheese, I am going to have to work up to that taste, may take a while.  We'll see....................
