Perfectly cooked pearl barley porridge is crumbly, tender and has a rich taste.
How to achieve this result?
The answer is simple: you just need to take into account a few simple recommendations.
Follow the rules below, and then you will definitely not get a tasteless side dish.
Rinsing with hot water
To rinse pearl barley, it is advisable to use high temperature water.
Cold water does not always completely remove starch dust.
Pre-frying
Before you start cooking, you should heat the pearl barley in a frying pan for a couple of minutes.
As a result, the porridge will have a very bright taste and will not be slimy.
Pour boiling water over
The cereal, poured into a saucepan, should be filled with boiling water.
Thanks to this action, the product will be heated evenly. The chances of getting crumbly porridge will be maximum.
Ratio of cereals to water
For every volume of pearl barley there should be three volumes of liquid.
