  • 1 tsp unsalted butter

  • 2 cups milk

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 cup pearl barley

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cinnamon stick

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 2 tbsp turbinado sugar

  • thawed berries, for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 225F. Coat the inside of a shallow 2-litre ovenproof dish with about 1 tsp unsalted butter. Add 2 cups milk, 2 cups water, 1 cup pearl barley, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cinnamon stick and 1/2 tsp ground ginger. Dot top of mixture with about 2 tsp unsalted butter cut into pieces. Cover with foil, place in the oven. Cook overnight (around 8 hrs).

  • Place 3 cups mixed frozen berries in a bowl and let thaw in the fridge overnight.

  • Remove porridge from oven, discard cinnamon stick and turn broiler to high. Sprinkle porridge with 2 tbsp turbinado sugar and broil for 1 to 2 min or until bubbly and golden. Top with thawed berries.
