Pearl barley is a barley grain that has undergone special processing. Everyone knows the beneficial properties of this cereal: it contains a large number of vitamins, trace elements and fiber. It contributes to the proper functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. Barley can be added to soups, served as porridge with meat, vegetables and just like that with a piece of butter.
Step cooking
- Like any other porridge, pearl barley should be sorted before cooking to extract excess grains and garbage from the cereal. Then pour the pearl barley into a deep bowl and fill it with boiling water so that the cereal is completely covered. Leave for 10 minutes. You can stir in the barley with a spoon, dry grains that will float to the surface of the water must be removed.
- After time, we recline the barley in a colander and rinse the cereal well under running water.
- We put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. The norm is 3 cups of water for 1 cup of pearl barley. But it all depends on what kind of porridge consistency you want to get. If you need crumbly porridge, then this proportion is just right. But if you want to get a porridge of viscous consistency, then for 1 glass of barley you need to take about 1 liter of water. In the second case, the cooking time will increase significantly and will be approximately 1 - 1.5 hours.
- When the water boils, put the pearl barley in a pan, bring it to a boil again and cook for 20 minutes. The porridge will turn out soft, crumbly and completely ready. The cooking time is affected by the shelf life. The longer the cereal has been stored, the longer it will cook. It is advisable to take fresh cereal. If you cook soup with the addition of pearl barley, then pearl barley should be added when the meat is cooked, their cooking time is almost the same, so when the meat is ready, then the cereal will be boiled.
- Pearl barley porridge should be salted at the very end, when it is almost ready. The process of cooking pearl barley will significantly accelerate, even without soaking, in such kitchen appliances as a slow cooker, pressure cooker, double boiler, microwave, and even in a thermos and a pot in the oven. Experiment and you will find the most ideal and fastest way to make porridge for yourself. Enjoy your meal!
