Tasty barley with meat classic breakfast tourist or summer resident. Cooking barley with meat is very simple, I advise you to cook in a roasting pan, as this cereal likes to burn, and you cannot open the lid and mix the dish during cooking. In the recipe I used lean pork, which can be replaced with lean beef, will also be delicious. You can make a barley with fatty meat, but, for my taste, it will be too high in calories.

A method of cooking delicious barley with meat.
We measure pearl barley, one large mug is enough for four portions, it can hold about 230-250 g. You need to prepare the dish in a roasting pan with a lid or in a saucepan with thick walls and a thick bottom.
Soak the cereal in cold water for a few minutes, drain the water, rinse it under the tap with cold water. Pour two cups of water in the brazier, pour the pearl barley grits, put the brazier on the fire, heat to boiling.
By the way, I advise you to sort out the barley so that in the finished dish there are no surprises in the form of small pebbles.
Fry the coarsely chopped onions in hot refined vegetable oil or olive oil.
We also add carrots to the onions, you can add a little more celery, if you like this vegetable.
When the vegetables are soft, put the pork into slices in the pan. Fry the meat with vegetables for a few minutes so that the pork grabs a little.
Put meat and vegetables in boiling barley.
Then add the fresh chilli pods, bay leaf, chopped garlic and tomatoes. Instead of tomatoes, you can add 2-3 tablespoons of tomato puree.
Pour salt to taste, hops-suneli and coarsely ground coriander seeds ground in a mortar. Instead of these spices, you can take curry powder for meat or ground red paprika.
Close the brazier tightly, make the smallest fire, cook for 1 hour. Then we remove the porridge from the stove, wrap it in a towel, leave for 15-20 minutes to steam.
To the table, barley and meat serve a hot, pleasant appetite! Fresh vegetable salad and homemade ketchup complement the dish well.
Barley with meat can be preserved. It is necessary to decompose the hot porridge with meat and vegetables in sterilized half-liter jars, cover with lids, put in a large saucepan on a towel. Pour hot water so that it reaches the shoulders, sterilize for 30 minutes, roll up. Cool canned food and store in the refrigerator no more than 1 month.
