- Wash the blueberries and pat them dry. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, until the berries release their juice. 2. Put the barley in a bowl and cover with water. Rinse the grain and drain. Spread the clean grains on a paper towel and let them dry. 3. Then dry the grains a little in a skillet. The skillet must be completely dry, without a drop of oil—a heavy-bottomed or cast-iron pan is best. You're not frying the barley, just drying it; if the pan is good and hot, it'll take barely a minute. 4. Grind the prepared barley in a coffee grinder—but not to a powder; the recipe needs a coarse grind. 5. Put the coarsely ground barley in a small pot and cover with water. Stir well and set the pot over low heat. 6. After a couple of minutes, pour the milk into the porridge and stir. Add more milk if you'd like it thinner. Cook, covered, until done—barley takes about 25 minutes to cook in milk. Stir as it cooks so it doesn't scorch. 7. Spoon the barley porridge into bowls and top with the baked blueberries, along with the juice they released while baking. 8. Coarsely chop the dates and walnuts with a knife and scatter them over the porridge. Drizzle with runny honey (if your honey is thick, warm it first in the microwave or over a water bath). Enjoy!
