   How to make pearl barley with stewed meat in a slow cooker? Prepare your ingredients. You can use any stew; give preference to homemade stew or stew from a trusted manufacturer. Before cooking, sort out the pearl barley and rinse with warm water. Before cooking, the cereal should be soaked in cold water to reduce cooking time. The soaking time for pearl barley is 2 - 3 hours (for 1 kg of barley, take 2 - 2.5 liters of water). The weight in the cereals is indicated before soaking.

   Wash and peel the carrots and onions. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, chop the onion randomly. Add the chopped vegetables to the multicooker cup and fry them in a bowl with the lid open for 10 minutes. Don’t forget to stir.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the washed pearl barley into the multicooker bowl. Add salt, ground black pepper to taste and stir.

   Pour in 500 ml of hot water, close the lid and turn on the “Stew” or “Porridge” mode for 1 hour. When the stewing time is over, turn off the multicooker from the main mode and leave the pearl barley in the bowl for another 10-15 minutes. You can turn on the “Heating” mode

Today for dinner I prepared pearl barley with stew in a slow cooker. It happened quite quickly, considering that I soaked the cereal in the morning. I have beef stew, I broke it into pieces. I cooked it together with vegetables for 20 minutes on the “fry” mode. After adding the cereal, I poured two glasses of boiling water so that the cooking process did not stop. Then I cooked it on the “stew” mode for 1 hour 20 minutes. It turned out to be a wonderful dish with rich flavor! Every pearl barley grain was soaked in this delicious broth from the stew). The whole family loved this very hearty and nutritious dinner!
