A great recipe to add variety to your home menu! I love porridge, but I rarely cooked pearl barley. As a side dish, seasoned with butter, it’s somehow not interesting... But according to this recipe, the porridge turned out delicious, boiled well and was soaked with chicken and vegetables. But it’s still better to soak pearl barley overnight. This porridge is an alternative to pilaf for those who love tender chicken fillet :)
