Organic Pearl Barley 0.39p/100g

From £0.39

Quantity

Pearl barley is commonly used in soups and stews to thicken and add extra texture. But its delicate and widely complementary flavour lends it to lots of tasty uses. Grab some top-quality organic pearl barley to make more interesting salads, risotto, stews and much more.

It is also commercially made to make barley water - usually sweetened and flavoured with orange or lemon.
Rinse thoroughly with cold water before cooking, then add the grains straight to a broth or stew, bring to the boil and then simmer for 30 - 40 minutes.

Pearl barley also makes a great substitute for rice in a risotto - it has a similar capacity for absorbing liquid and the cooking time will be roughly the same.

If you want to add pearl barley to a soup or stew but don’t want the barley to thicken it then cook it separately first. Boil in water for 20-30 minutes and rinse before using.
