Barley with canned meat
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can easily prepare a hearty lunch or dinner using simple ingredients if you have canned meat and barley available. Keep in mind that the grain takes a long time to cook, so it should be soaked in hot water for 2 hours beforehand. This will reduce the cooking time by approximately 1 hour. Serve hot.

Step 4
Remove the canned meat from the can and cut the large pieces into slightly smaller ones. Place into a container with the cooked barley, add some ground black pepper. You can also add other seasonings, spices to taste, or sautéed vegetables. Gently mix. The fat from the canned meat will blend with the hot porridge, enriching its flavor and making it creamy.
