Preparation: Step 1
-
Prepare the ingredients for the preparation of barley on the water.
Knock the cereal. Soak her for a couple of hours in cold water. Some housewives do not soak the pearl barley. In this case, it will cook a little longer.
Zucchini can be used both fresh and frozen in small pieces. The vegetable workpiece should first defrost and drain the liquid.

Rinse the barley well, changing water several times. Put in a pan with a thick bottom or a stewpan.

From the moment of boiling, reduce the heating and cook the barley with slow boil. It is not necessary to mix it during cooking. After 40 minutes, try barley for readiness.
Many cooks recommend cooking the barley to the state of Al Dent, when she has not yet lost her elasticity. Such a barley is scattered and is suitable for a side dish and use in salads and other dishes. But, if you like soft barley, completely boiled, then continue to cook it and try it in the process for readiness. It can take another 5-10 minutes. If you understand that everything suits you, but the liquid at the bottom is still left, then drain it.
It is enough to add oil — butter or vegetable and mix in the pearl barley, cooked on the side dish. In this recipe, I propose to attach the zucchini and garlic saved in oil to the pearl barley. You will get a delicious self -sufficient dish.
