Everyone knows about the benefits of pearl barley porridge with stew. But not everyone undertakes its preparation. This is due to the rather laborious cooking process. If you cook pearl barley porridge like ordinary cereals, there is a possibility of obtaining a harsh texture with pronounced bitterness. But with a multicooker, cooking pearl barley porridge brings exclusively positive emotions. You will learn about how to prepare cereals for a multicooker, and what recipes will prepare the most delicious barley with stew, from this article.

How to choose cereals?

Pearl barley is a rich source of many vitamins and mineral elements, so necessary for the human body. Nevertheless, this particular product is often left without due attention. Once the pearl barley was exclusively the food of the poor. But the trend towards a healthy lifestyle has done its job, and now barley porridge is included in the menu of even the most expensive restaurant.

Due to the fact that slow carbohydrates make up most of the composition of pearl barley, they fill the body with energy and give it a long-lasting feeling of satiety. In addition, barley has the lowest glycemic index among all other cereals. As a result, barley porridge is a dish that should be in the diet of anyone who is actively fighting the extra pounds.

In fact, barley is processed barley. Sometimes this product is found on the shelves of supermarkets with the name "barley groats." It should be noted that during the production processing of barley, cereal loses a significant part of important vitamins and minerals. Pearl barley is whole grains, peeled from the shell, visually resembling polished. The shape and size of the grains form several categories of this product. The first and second categories include large-sized grains with an elongated shape. The third, fourth and fifth categories include small grains with a round shape.

It is most reasonable to give preference to pearl barley, which is sold in cardboard boxes. The fact is that in cellophane packages pearl barley quickly gets bitterness. This is due to the fact that barley nucleoli form a small amount of moisture, which nevertheless is sufficient for harmful bacteria to begin the reproduction process. If, upon purchase of cereals, you find sediment or water droplets on the inner walls of the packaging, it is recommended that you refuse to purchase this product.

Depending on the variety and category, pearl barley can be of different colors - from beige to light yellow. Sometimes you may encounter an unusual color of pearl barley - green. There is nothing to worry about, it is a fairly high-quality variety of this cereal.

How to soak the grain?

Pre-soaking pearl barley grains is necessary so that the cooking process takes place much faster. The total cooking time is influenced by several factors - this is the grain size and the selected cooking method. This product can be brought to a ready state in a couple of minutes, or you can stretch the cooking process to an entire hour.

After soaking pearl barley, you will save yourself from a long pastime at the stove.

In order to carry out the process of soaking pearl barley correctly, it is recommended to adhere to the recommendations of specialists. To start   sort through the grits carefully  just as you usually do with buckwheat. Remove the dark grains, various pebbles randomly in the packaging, and the remains of the husk. Transfer the peeled grains into a deep bowl and fill with cold water. Rinse the groats several times with intense movements. Most likely, industrial impurities will come to the surface, which also need to be removed. Then drain the water. If necessary, repeat the procedure again.

Peeled pearl barley seeds with warm water per one cup of pearl barley per four cups of liquid (in this case, water). Soaking, as a rule, is carried out at night. It is necessary to withstand cereals in water for at least twelve hours so that the grains properly swell and increase in size. Therefore, it is recommended to use dishes with a deep bottom. Upon completion of soaking, the water is carefully drained. To do this, it is advisable to resort to using a colander with small holes.

It is worth mentioning that after soaking the croup is repeatedly rinsed under a strong stream of water.

Proportions and cooking time

In order to make pearl barley porridge tasty and appetizing, it is advisable to strictly follow the recommended proportions and focus on the time indicated in the recipe. As you know, porridge has two different textures. The dish may be viscous or crumbly. For each consistency, there are certain norms for the ratio of water and cereals. If you want to get a specific texture, respecting the proportions is a prerequisite.

So, in order to get a viscous pearl barley porridge, you need to take one cup of cereal and four cups of liquid. For friable texture, the amount of water used is halved. Thus, one cup of pearl barley will require two cups of liquid.

As mentioned earlier, the process of preparing this product can take from several minutes to an hour. The total cooking time takes from fifty minutes to one and a half hours, provided that the croup has not previously been soaked. Consider all the options for cooking pearl barley and the time taken for this process. It is worth noting that all the time indicators indicated below are approximate and can increase or decrease depending on the type of cereal and the cooking method chosen. Provided that the barley is not subjected to preliminary soaking - the dish will be cooked for at least sixty minutes. Soaking can significantly reduce the cooking of this cereal - cooking porridge does not take more than forty minutes. In finished packages, barley is brought to a ready state in forty-five to fifty minutes.

Well, in the case of using a multicooker, pearl barley porridge can be cooked in just forty minutes. It is worth noting that cereals after twenty-five minutes can be ready. Many powerful multicookers are able to bring this type of cereal in such a short period. Therefore, it is advisable to periodically approach the slow cooker and check the dish after the first thirty minutes — it may already be ready.

Recipes

Having correctly selected the cereal and processed it, you can start cooking and, for example, cook it. But first, it is worth recalling another important component - stew. It is worth saying a few words about this product. As in the case of pearl barley, it is rather difficult to choose a stew. A wide range of products offered will easily confuse the average customer. First, pay attention to the packaging of the product and its contents.

A quality product will definitely be marked with GOST. This is evidence that the product meets national quality standards. In no case do not buy a product with a swelling cap. This may be a signal that spores of botulism bacteria are actively developing there. They secrete one of the most dangerous poisons in the world, the name of which is botulinum toxin.

Let's move on to one of the simplest recipes for making pearl barley porridge with stew.

First you need to get the following ingredients:

• one mug of pearl barley;
• two carrots;
• one head of onion;
• a can of stew;
• two liters of pure water;
• salt, black pepper;
• vegetable oil.

If you wish, you can soak the barley for several hours. But this is not a mandatory procedure. In any case, first rinse the groats thoroughly and remove foreign objects if necessary.

After preparing the cereal, pour a small amount of vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl and then fry the pre-chopped vegetables. Sliced \u200b\u200bfrom onions and carrots should be cooked for fifteen minutes with the activated mode "Frying" or "Deep fat." It is permissible to add pieces of tomato, they will add piquancy to the final dish. Tomatoes can be replaced with a few tablespoons of tomato paste. Stew is added to the fried vegetable slices. It should be noted that beef meat is the best batch of pearl barley. But you have the right to use any. Croup is added next, but it is recommended to scald it with boiling water in advance. This ensures that the bitter taste is eliminated.

Water is poured over the contents of the multicooker. The previous multicooker mode is replaced by "Extinguishing". The names of the modes may vary depending on the model of equipment. But also such programs as Pilaf and Buckwheat are suitable for preparing this dish. The cooking time set in the programs is fixed, and, as a rule, does not exceed sixty minutes. Some multicookers are made in such a way that the program continues to work until the water has completely evaporated. Fifteen minutes before the end of the regimen, it is advisable to add salt, pepper and your favorite seasonings. After time, pearl barley porridge with pieces of stew is carefully mixed and left to infuse for several minutes. Ten to fifteen minutes will be enough.

Most recipes for pearl barley porridge with stew, involving the use of a slow cooker, are fairly similar in steps. Only the ingredients change. For example, the following recipe suggests abandoning vegetable slices, replacing it with an ordinary clove of garlic. Two mugs of pearl barley are washed and placed in a multicooker container, several cloves of peeled garlic are placed on top. Then the entire contents are poured with water or pre-prepared broth. One of the modes indicated above is activated. Then you need to wait for the completion of the program (from forty to sixty minutes). Next, opening the lid and gently mixing the porridge, add the required amount of stew.

When deciding to use the broth, it is necessary to match the type of meat in the stew.For example, for beef stew only beef broth is used.
