Pearl porridge with stewed meat in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make pearl barley porridge with stewed meat in a frying pan? Pour the pearl barley into a colander and rinse thoroughly under running water. Proper flushing with pearl barley should strive for transparent.

2. Step 2:

   

   Fill the pearl barley with filtered drinking water and leave for at least an hour at room temperature. This will reduce the cooking time of cereals in the future.

3. Step 3:

   

   My pearl barley soaked even longer than this time. I can say that if you soak the cereal for the whole night, then you will have to cook it for only about fifteen minutes. And this is already 60% less time to prepare a dish!

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the pearl barley in a saucepan of a suitable size and pour filtered water three centimeters above the level of the cereal. I have about 800 milliliters. Cook the pearl barley over medium heat until tender. This may take different time, since all plates have their own individual characteristics.

5. Step 5:

   

   When the water boils, salt it. If you soaked the cereal for an hour, you need to cook for about forty minutes. Stir the cereal periodically so that it does not stick to the bottom.

6. Step 6:

   

   Try one grain, if it is soft, then you can remove the pearl barley from the fire. Put the pearl barley in a colander and rinse with cold filtered water. It's the same story here as with boiled rice. From washing, the pearl barley also becomes crumbly and does not stick together in the future.

8. Step 7:

   

   Let's prepare the roast. Wash the carrots under running water and peel them. Finely chop the carrots.

9. Step 8:

   

   Peel the onion and finely chop it as well. Fine slicing of these vegetables is necessary so that the roast has time to reach readiness.

10. Step 9:

    

    Heat a frying pan with a non-stick coating and low sides over high heat. Pour in the sunflower oil and warm it up well. Reduce the heat to medium. Put the carrots and onions to fry until soft. It will take about five minutes. Stir the vegetables periodically so that they don't burn.

11. Step 10:

    

    Remove the stew from the jar and sort it out. Now it is difficult to find a 100 percent perfect stew, even an expensive one, in which there would be no extra elements: fat and connective tissue. You need to get rid of them, as well as broth and bay leaf, if there is one. We only need clean meat.

12. Step 11:

    

    Add the stew to the finished roast and put it all out together for a couple of minutes.

13. Step 12:

    

    It remains only to add the pearl barley to the pan, mix everything until smooth and warm up the dish for another five to seven minutes. Then try the dish. Perhaps it needs to be salted to taste. Ready!
