Barley porridge is one of those dishes that has stood the test of time. However, many people have mixed feelings about barley porridge, because it seems tasteless.
All this can be corrected by adding a few ingredients at the very beginning of cooking.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told how to do the right thing.
Quality broth
The basis of any dish is its foundation, and pearl barley porridge is no exception.
To make the perfect porridge, it makes sense to use broth. It will add depth of taste and aroma, giving the porridge a richer flavor.
Aromatic spices
Spices are a key ingredient in creating the unique taste of pearl barley porridge. You can try adding a little at the beginning of cooking:
• chopped garlic;
• dried cumin;
• ground coriander.
These spices will allow you to achieve an unusual aroma and taste. Of course, it is also important to stick to the proportions.
Vegetables for texture and flavor
To make pearl barley porridge even more balanced and nutritious, you can add vegetables at the beginning of cooking.
For example, carrots, onions and celery will complement the flavor perfectly, as well as enrich its texture and nutritional properties.
A spoon of butter
Adding a small amount of oil at the beginning of cooking gives the barley a richer flavor and helps prevent it from sticking together.
Natural oils such as olive or vegetable oil are important to preserve the natural flavour of the dish.
