Drescription
This whole-grain porridge is a healthy way to start the day. Dehulled or hulless barley is unprocessed and takes longer to cook than the quicker pearled barley; use either for this recipe (servings of fiber will differ).
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dehulled whole barley
- 3/4 cup steel-cut oats
- 1/2 cup cornmeal (not coarsely ground)
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cinnamon stick
- kosher salt
- topping suggestions: milk, chopped dried fruit, fresh fruit or nuts
Directions
- Combine 4 1/2 cups water, barley, oats, cornmeal, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon stick and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a slow cooker and cover and let sit overnight, at least 8 hours.
- In the morning, set the slow cooker to high and cook until the grains are tender, about 2 hours, stirring once halfway through. Ladle the porridge into serving bowls and add your favorite toppings, such as milk, dried fruit, fresh fruit or nuts.
