Method for preparing delicious barley with meat

We measure the pearl barley, one large mug is enough for four servings, it holds about 230-250 g. You need to cook the dish in a brazier with a lid or in a saucepan with thick walls and a thick bottom.

Soak the cereal in cold water for a few minutes, drain the water, rinse it under the tap with cold water. Pour two cups of water into the brazier, pour the pearl barley, put the brazier on the fire, heat to a boil.

By the way, I advise you to sort out the barley so that there are no surprises in the form of small pebbles in the finished dish.

Fry the coarsely chopped head of onion in heated refined vegetable or olive oil.

We also add coarsely chopped carrots to the onions, you can add a little more celery if this vegetable is to your taste.

When the vegetables are tender, put the pork chopped into cubes in the pan. Fry the meat with vegetables for a few minutes, so that the pork just grabs a little.

Put meat and vegetables in a brazier with boiling barley.

Then add fresh chili pods, bay leaves, chopped garlic and tomatoes. Instead of tomatoes, you can add 2-3 tablespoons of tomato puree.

Pour salt to taste, suneli hops and coriander seeds roughly ground in a mortar. Instead of these spices, you can use curry powder for meat or ground red paprika.

We close the brazier tightly, make the smallest fire, cook for 1 hour. Then we remove the porridge from the stove, wrap it with a towel, leave it for 15-20 minutes to steam.

Serve barley with meat to the table hot, bon appetit! Fresh vegetable salad and homemade ketchup complement the dish well.

Barley with meat can be canned. It is necessary to decompose the hot porridge with meat and vegetables in sterilized half liter jars, cover with lids, put in a large saucepan on a towel. Pour hot water so that it reaches the coat hanger, sterilize for 30 minutes, roll up. Cool canned food and store in the refrigerator for no more than 1 month.
