Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine the dried cepes and water in a saucepan. Simmer gently over medium heat until reduced to 6 cups, about 20 minutes. Drain through a sieve lined with cheesecloth, pouring the broth into a small saucepan. Finely chop the mushrooms and set aside. Keep the broth warm over low heat.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottom saucepan. Add the fresh mushrooms. Saute over high heat until golden, but not soft, about 3 minutes. Take the mushrooms out of the pan and set aside. Add the shallots and garlic to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium high and simmer until reduced to ½ cup, about 5 minutes. Add the barley and stir. Ladle in ½ cup of the hot broth and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding ½ cup of broth at a time, stirring until absorbed, until the barley is tender, about 30 minutes. Add both the dried cepes and fresh mushrooms and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. Beat in the Parmesan. Divide among 4 bowls, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
