Heera Pearl Barley 500g

£1.09

Prices checked

This 500g pack of Heera Pearl Barley suits a household that cooks soups and stews on a regular basis, giving enough for several meals across a few weeks. It sits neatly in the store cupboard, ready whenever a warming dish is needed. Pearl barley is a small, pale grain with a mild, nutty taste and a pleasantly chewy bite once cooked. It holds its shape well, making it useful for dishes that need a bit of body and texture rather than something that turns soft and mushy. At home, it works well stirred into vegetable soup, added to a slow-cooked beef or lamb stew, or simmered into a barley risotto in place of rice. It can also be boiled and tossed through a simple salad with chopped vegetables and a light dressing, or added to mince dishes to bulk them out. To cook, rinse the barley first, then simmer in water or stock until tender, usually around 25 to 30 minutes, adding more liquid if needed. Once opened, keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry cupboard to keep the grains in good condition for future meals.
