Step 2
Pearl barley takes a long time to cook. To shorten the time, pour water over the barley and leave it overnight. It will absorb the water, swell, and cook faster.
Step 3
In the morning, rinse the barley several times in cold water. Then drain it in a colander so excess water runs off.
Step 4
Put the rinsed barley into the multicooker bowl. Add butter.
Step 5
Pour in water and add a little salt. If you plan to serve the porridge as a side dish, you can add a little aromatic spices or dried herbs. Close the lid and set the “Grains” mode for 40 minutes. Adjust to your multicooker.
Step 6
After the set time, the multicooker will beep to indicate the dish is ready. Open the lid and stir the porridge. During cooking, the barley absorbed all the water and increased in size. Serve on a plate. This pearl barley porridge can be a standalone dish or a side for meat or fish. Enjoy your meal!
