Pearl barley porridge

Rinse the pearl barley under running water.

Cover the barley with water in a 1:5 ratio (1 part barley to 5 parts water).

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for approximately 40-50 minutes until the barley absorbs all the water.

At the end of cooking, season the porridge with salt to taste.

Let the porridge sit covered for another 10 minutes.
