Barley porridge - is rightfully considered the queen of cereals. It is inexpensive, dietary and delicious. In ancient times, this particular porridge was very popular. It was served with game, stuffed with fish, and during Lent it was the first course. Most often, we eat barley porridge as a side dish, but it can be an excellent main course. For example, it is prepared with mushrooms, meat dressing, vegetables, fruits. In today's review, I want to share a recipe for barley porridge with pumpkin. It is sweet, at the same time dietary and tasty.
Pearl barley goes well with juicy pumpkin. The porridge turns out to be very tasty and satisfying. Thanks to pumpkin, unleavened pearl barley acquires such an unusual taste that this dish can be called a small masterpiece.
Today I have a recipe for porridge with milk. However, there are many variations of its preparation. If you want a more dietary option, then use regular drinking water. When cooking barley, it should be borne in mind that it takes a long time to cook. Therefore, soak it in boiling water for a couple of hours in advance, but you can also leave it soaked overnight. And only after that start cooking it.
