Barley Porridge on Water (in the Oven)

by Editorial Staff

Light and hearty pearl barley porridge on the water is a versatile dish that can be cooked in the oven and served alone or as a side dish. The addition of turmeric and dried herbs gives the porridge a bright color and aroma, and butter – tenderness. There is less work in the kitchen because the entire cooking process takes place in the oven, and the porridge turns out to be crumbly and juicy. And no tedious constant stirring and burnt dishes. Try it!

Ingredients

  • Pearl barley – 200 g
  • Ground turmeric – 1 teaspoon
  • Dried Italian herbs – 1 teaspoon
  • Butter – 50 g + for serving (optional)
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon (no slide)
  • Fresh greens (optional) – for serving (to taste)

Directions

  1. Prepare foods from the list. Such a tender pearl barley porridge cooks quite quickly, so it is best to turn on the oven in advance to warm up to a temperature of 200 degrees.
  2. Rinse the pearl barley thoroughly in cold water about 3-4 times, until the water becomes clear. Rinse the cereals one last time with hot water and strain thoroughly. Such a thorough washing of the pearl barley will help the pearl barley porridge become more crumbly and avoid slippery viscosity.
  3. Pour about 0.5-0.7 liters of water into a saucepan or stewpan, put on the heat, and bring to a boil. Add barley, stir and bring to a boil again. Then turn off the heat and drain the water.
  4. Place the prepared cereal in a pot or ceramic baking pan with a tight-fitting lid.
  5. Add butter, salt, turmeric and dried herb mixture.
  6. Mix thoroughly so that the butter melts and envelopes each pearl grain, and the spices are evenly distributed.
  7. Pour in 750 ml of warm water (or hot, if the mold material allows it).
  8. Cover the dish with a lid and place in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for 75-100 minutes. Check the water level approximately every 30 minutes until the water is absorbed into the cereal. I bake the porridge in the electric oven for 90 minutes (by the end of cooking, there is still a thin layer of water at the bottom of the mold), and then turn off the heating and leave the porridge under the lid in the cooling oven for another 15-20 minutes so that the porridge is infused a little and the remaining water is completely absorbed.
  9. Barley porridge on water, baked in the oven, is ready. Serve it to the table, if desired, add a slice of butter and garnish with herbs.

Bon Appetit!
