If you want to get a really tasty dish, you need to remember some nuances during preparation.
To begin with, as experienced housewives note, you should thoroughly rinse the grains with hot water.
The procedure should be repeated several times until the water becomes clear.
Before cooking, the grains can be lightly fried in a frying pan with butter. This will help to reveal the taste and aroma of the dish.
But here you need to remember that it is better to fry the grains in a dry frying pan first, and then you can add oil. The procedure should not take more than 2 minutes.
It is better to pour hot or boiling water over the pearl barley rather than cold water.
In this case, the porridge will be crumbly, without lumps.
It is very important to choose the right ratio of pearl barley to water. Chefs recommend taking only 3 glasses of water per 1 glass of porridge.
You need to cook the porridge under a lid until it is ready.
