    Step 6:

  • I cook the barley groats in cold, lightly salted water over medium heat, skimming off the foam now and then. Once the grains start releasing a thick, whitish mass, I drain off the excess water, transfer the porridge to another pot, and keep cooking it with the milk, stirring constantly. The result should be a thick porridge that spreads across the plate. I stir cottage cheese into the finished porridge and let it stand in the covered pot, off the heat, for five minutes. In the old Russian cookbooks — one of which is where I found this recipe — they'd tell you to "leave the porridge to steam through." The dish is ready; all that's left is to top it with butter and serve it right away, before it cools. Everyone's already gathered at the table, eagerly waiting not just for the thick Russian-style barley porridge, but also for the recipe — which, as everyone knows, I'll share after the meal with anyone who wants it.
