    In the Middle East, they prepare Barley as a sweet dessert dish. It looks like rice pudding with the herb Anise and "rose water" or sometimes "orange blossom water." …. The final product is incredibly yummy. It is whiter/greyer than what you showed here. Have you ever heard of this or know on how to prepare it.

    Thank you!! I need some advice if you don't mind though. I just got one of those instapots or quick cookers. I want to make a beef/barley stew with sweet potatoes in it. Is it possible to cook them together in the pot or will some things come out underdone and other things be way overcooked? Should I cook the barley separately, and if so, how do I know when it is done enough to add to a stew or soup? I don't want to to have it turn into mush in the soup (which HAS happened to me last time I was ambitious enough to try to cook dry pearl barley, lol) Thank you in advance!! ANY help is appreciated!! XOXO

    I followed your idea for cooking perfect barley – first I purchased some perfect barley then I rinsed to with some perfect water then put in in a perfect pan and applied some perfect heat then I put it on a perfect plate and using a perfect fork ingested the perfect barley and wound up with a perfect stomach ache – you will get my perfect bill.
