Barley porridge in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This recipe works quite well. Every time you cook barley porridge in the oven, it's very important to have enough water. The barley needs to swell and should not be hard. Pre-frying the grain in a pan together with onions and mushrooms infuses it with the aroma of these ingredients. It undergoes initial heat treatment, and when the porridge is placed in the oven, all that remains is to wait until it becomes tender. See, the ready dish can now be served.
