History of the dish
Barley porridge or simply barley is a porridge made from boiled pearl barley and is considered the most popular in Russian cuisine. We find the first mentions of such porridge in the history of Karelians and residents of the Komi Republic. It was barley with meat that was the favorite porridge of Peter I, and then of many of his compatriots. Such porridge is often prepared not only in water, but also in milk with or without added sugar. Pearl barley has one important feature: it must be soaked for at least 4 hours before cooking. Otherwise, it will take about 5 hours to cook the porridge. Therefore, we will not delay and immediately begin to cook.
