Fried barley with vegetables

Barley is often disliked for the fact that when boiling the grains secrete starch and become, as it were, a little slimy. Pre-frying removes this characteristic from the groats and gives them a pleasant nutty flavor.

Ingredients

250 g barley
1 large onion
2 medium carrots
half a small celery root
4-5 cloves of garlic
2-3 sprigs of thyme
vegetable oil
salt, freshly ground black pepper

STEP-BY-STEP COOKING RECIPE

Step 1

Place the barley in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Do not add oil or water. Place over medium heat and fry, stirring frequently, until light brown, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

At the same time, bring 1 L of water to a boil in a large saucepan and season with salt. Stir in the fried barley, add the thyme, cover, and simmer while the rest is cooking.

Step 3

Peel the onions, carrots and celery, cut into 1 cm cubes. Chop the garlic. Fry vegetables in oil until golden brown, 10 minutes. Season vegetables with salt and pepper.
