Ingredients

Pearl barley – 200 g;
Pork (shoulder) – 200 g (flesh);

Vegetable oil – 5 tbsp. l.;

How to cook pearl barley with meat in a Redmond multicooker

For the dish pearl barley porridge with meat in a slow cooker, we chose the shoulder of pork. They decided to use spices of quite spicy Georgian origin ( hot peppers chili, ground black, turmeric). If you do not consider yourself a supporter of spicy dishes, then it is better to take a neutral seasoning (oregano, Bay leaf, turmeric, basil). As usual, before cooking, wash the meat and vegetables. Free the onion from the husk. Remove the seeds and core from the sweet pepper.

Let's start cooking: Finely chop the onion. Coarsely grate the carrots.

Cut the sweet pepper in a convenient way, but the resulting pieces should be medium in size.

Place all the chopped products on the bottom of the multi-pan. Before this, pour the indicated portion of vegetable oil into the multicooker (we use sunflower oil, odorless, but pearl barley turns out just as tasty with olive oil).

Let’s program the device to perform the “Frying” program. We will leave the time parameters on the panel as provided by the manufacturer - 18 minutes. Close the lid and then click on “Start”.

Let's start with the meat: cut the pork into medium-sized cubes.

About halfway through the current cycle, add the meat cubes to the vegetables (be careful before opening the lid). Mix all ingredients well with a wooden spatula.

It’s time to deal with the cereal: wash the pearl barley in several waters until completely transparent.

When the signal sounds about the end of the first program, add the cereal to the fried meat mixture. Pour in one and a half glasses of bottled water. Let's add some salt. Season with spices.

Continuing the stage in the “Delayed Start” mode will have some peculiarities: the cereal swells when in water. With “Delayed Start” for more than 2 hours, the cooking time will be shorter by 20 minutes.

If you plan to prepare this dish in advance, it is very useful to soak the cereal for a couple of hours in cold water. But in this case, the cooking time will decrease and this also needs to be taken into account.

We prepare immediately, without delay. On the control panel, select the “Rice/cereals” function. If your kitchen assistant model does not have such a mode, then it can be equivalently replaced with the “Stew” function. We will manually set the time to 1 hour, since pearl barley requires long-term processing and the automatic time corresponding to this mode will not suit us. Mix the contents of the multi-pan, close the lid tightly, and start the process.

In the middle of the cycle, we will check the condition of our dish: be careful when opening the lid! Mix our future porridge again and, if necessary, add a little water (0.2–0.3 cups). When the signal indicates that our pearl barley with meat in the slow cooker is ready, we will place the finished porridge on plates. Serve hot to the table.

Cooking tips:

Pearl barley is sold in supermarkets in two types: cereal and flakes. If you bought cereal, you must soak it in cold water and let it stand for 2 hours. Flakes do not require such preliminary preparation.
If during cooking it turns out that there is not enough water, feel free to add a little more - this will not make the porridge worse.
Your porridge will be much tastier if you add 30 g of butter along with the cereal.

Pearl barley porridge in a slow cooker is an easy to prepare dish. Perfect as a side dish or can be served on its own for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

An inexpensive product will be a good help when you need tasty, filling food, but the refrigerator does not please you with abundance. If you show a little imagination and effort, you can make ordinary pearl barley porridge original, unusual and tasty.
