Method
Since our barley will be "risotto" as in any risotto we will start with the broth, which must always be kept a lot warm. Classic celery, carrot, onion, salt and also laurel and garlic in cold water, which will help us to extract the best of the products.
Separately we cut our cherry tomatoes into 4 parts and the salami spicy in cubes (not too small).
Now let's take our casserole and heat a nice thread of oil (for the roasting of barley we use an evo oil, the San Felice we will use it raw on the finished plate), so let's toast the barley and stir with a spoonful of
wood at regular intervals without stopping. We blend with the red wine, let the alcohol evaporate and wait for some moments. When our barley begins to resist, while we mix it, add the first ladles of broth and keep stirring.
In the meantime we take a non-stick frying pan, we put a oil thread and bring it to temperature to brown the salami. Then add 2 ladles of broth in the pan hot, to take advantage of all the spicy juices that have released the salami. A couple of minutes and it's ready.
After 15 minutes we can add the salami in the barley and the slices of tomato. We continue cooking for another 10', wetting with broth. Taste often to check salt and cooking... leave it al dente!
If the barley is ready, we remove the saucepan from the fire and the let it rest 1-2', with the lid, before adding grated grana padano cheese and stir.
Let's serve it in a nice wide flat plate and raw a nice thread of San Felice oil to garnish.
