Aksoy Pearl Barley – For Soups, Stews, Salads & Pilafs
Aksoy Pearl Barley — food grade, suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
What Is Pearl Barley?
Pearl barley is a nutritious grain with a mild, nutty flavour. It's very versatile and lends itself to a wide variety of dishes.
Add it to soups, stir-fries and stews in place of rice for a tasty change. It can also be cooked up as a hot cereal, stirred into salads, or used in stuffing – an excellent alternative to rice or pasta.
Because it's sold in larger pack sizes (5kg and 10kg), it also works well for catering and bulk kitchen use.
How to Cook Pearl Barley?
- Bring 3 cups of water and 1 cup of rinsed and drained Aksoy Pearl Barley to a boil in a pot.
- Once the water and barley are boiling, reduce the heat to low and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir occasionally, but for the most part you can just let the barley cook for about 20 minutes.
- Enjoy.
Do You Need to Soak Pearl Barley?
Pot barley is best when soaked overnight in cold water, then cooked in three parts liquid to one part grain.
