Provided by Anders Braathen

Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Compote:
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup dried cherries, divided
Porridge:
1/2 cup sliced blanched almonds, divided
4 cups whole milk
3/4 cup pearl barley
1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3 ounces white chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Compote:
  • Bring sugar, 1/2 cup cherries, and 1 1/2 cups water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often and mashing fruit, until cherries start to fall apart, 15-20 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 cup cherries and cook, stirring, until plumped, 5-8 minutes. Let cool. Cover and chill if making ahead (up to 1 week), but bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Porridge:
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 5-7 minutes. Let cool.
  • Combine milk, barley, and salt in a medium saucepan. Scrape in vanilla seeds and add pod. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring often and adding a little water if mixture gets too thick before barley is cooked, until barley is very tender and porridge is the consistency of oatmeal, 40-50 minutes.
  • Add white chocolate and sugar off heat, stirring to melt chocolate and dis- solve sugar. Let cool. Remove vanilla pod.
  • Whisk cream in a large bowl to soft peaks. Fold into porridge in 2 additions; stir in half of almonds. Serve topped with compote and remaining almonds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right barley: Hulled barley is the most common type of barley used in porridge, but you can also use pearl barley or barley flakes. Hulled barley has a chewier texture, while pearl barley and barley flakes are softer.
  • Soak the barley overnight: Soaking the barley overnight helps to soften it and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the barley overnight, you can quick-soak it by boiling it in water for 15 minutes, then draining it and rinsing it.
  • Use a variety of milks: Almond milk is a popular choice for vegan and dairy-free porridge, but you can also use other types of milk, such as oat milk, soy milk, or cow's milk. If the milk is unsweetened, you may want to add a little honey, maple syrup, or sugar to taste.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Almond barley porridge is a versatile dish that can be topped with a variety of ingredients. Some popular toppings include fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and spices. You can also add a dollop of yogurt or honey for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Almond barley porridge is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack that is perfect for busy mornings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a warm and comforting bowl of porridge that will keep you full and satisfied all morning long.
