ingredients

1 cup pearl barley, uncooked

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (if available)

1 cup plant-based milk, or regular dairy milk (preferably local or organic)

6 tablespoons of apple, chopped

1/4 cup chopped mixed nuts (if available)

3 cups water

instructions

Bring water to a boil in a medium sauce pan over high heat. Add barley, bring water back to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let cook for 35 to 40 minutes until most of the water is absorbed.

Stir in sugar, cinnamon & nutmeg. Add 1/2 cup milk, stir until mixture is creamy and barley is tender. Most of the liquid should be absorbed.

If necessary, add an additional 1/2 cup of milk to reach the desired consistency.

Divide barley among bowls & top with apples, more cinnamon & mixed nuts (if available)
