TASTING TIPS

Preparation

Allow about a glass of cereal per person. Soak the volume of barley in a large amount of water overnight.

Discard the soaking water and pour your volume of barley into 3 times its volume of cold salt water. Cook over low heat, covering for about 1 hour 30 minutes from the boil.

Utilisation

The barley is used in many ways:

  • Barley is used to make malt beer (sprouted barley).
  • Barley “coffee”, little consumed in France, is common in Italy where it is found in all grocery stores under the name of “Orzo”.
  • More traditionally, we will find barley in the preparation of soups or salads with vegetables and herbs (oregano, parsley, bay leaf, dill, etc.).
  • It can also be eaten like rice or in a pot with vegetables and smoked meat or tofu.
