Barley porridge with blueberries and hazelnuts recipe by Niklas Ekstedt.
Since the Viking period, people in the Nordic region have eaten barley porridge with a knob of freshly churned butter. Today we know that coarsely chopped barley is a good source of resistant starch and other healthy fibres. The substances in blueberries and other red berries and fruit help to keep your gut flora in shape.
Ingredients
Method
1. Place the barley groats, 500 ml water and salt into a saucepan.
2. Simmer carefully for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, and dilute with more water to the desired consistency.
