Pearl barley is a classic ingredient of rassolnik, without which it is difficult to imagine preparing the dish.
However, not all housewives like to spend extra time preparing the product.
Therefore, experienced cooks have found excellent ways to replace this ingredient.
What can be added to rassolnik instead of pearl barley
Oat flakes
The component has a unique pleasant consistency that goes well with the soup itself. However, you should not take flakes that do not require cooking. This option will not work.
If you choose high-quality oatmeal, the rassolnik will be very tasty. The advantage of this option is that the soup is easy and quick to prepare.
Millet
This option will not simplify the process of cooking rassolnik, but the soup will be more interesting, unusual and tasty. Experienced housewives leave the cereal in water overnight, and then process it in hot liquid.
Millet takes the same amount of time to cook as pearl barley. An interesting fact is that millet is perfect for making Lenten rassolnik.
Buckwheat groats
Many people love buckwheat for its rich composition and pleasant taste. But not everyone includes the cereal in the first courses. But buckwheat can really decorate the rassolnik.
