Spiced Barley Pudding

Home   Recipes for Pulses, Grains, Seeds, Flakes, Flour, Ferments...   Spiced Barley Pudding
Desserts Grain Middle Eastern Naked Barley Pearled Grains

by Amy Elysia March 10, 2024

Switch rice for barley! We use pearled naked barley in place of rice in this pudding inspired by the Lebanese spiced rice puddings traditionally flavoured with cardamom, vanilla, cinnamon, orange and orange blossom water.

Read more: What is naked barley? Why should we grow and eat more?

You could use any of our wholegrains (whole oats would be especially good) in this adaptable recipe. Just bear in mind that un-pearled grains will take a little longer to cook. You could also try different spices: another good combination is cardamom, vanilla, rose water and pistachio.

"This amount would be perfect for four small portions as a pudding. However, having said that my husband ate the whole thing in one sitting, so double the recipe as needed."

Serves 3 to 4

Ingredients

  • 150g Pearled Naked Barley
  • 700ml Milk of your choice
  • ½ Cinnamon Stick
  • 8 Cardamom Pods
  • Zest from a ¼ of an Orange
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Essence
  • 60g Sugar
  • ½ tsp Orange Blossom Water 
To serve (optional)
  • 30g Flaked Almonds, toasted
  • Dried Petals e.g. rose, cornflower, marigolds
  • Orange Zest

Method

  1. In a dry pan toast the cardamom pods and cinnamon stick for a couple of minutes, until fragrant.
  2. Add the barley, milk, vanilla, orange zest and sugar. Bring to a simmer and continue for 45- 50 mins, stirring occasionally until the grains are fully cooked. If the mixture uses all the liquid before the grains are cooked, add a little more.
  3. Once cooked, stir in the orange blossom water.
  4. Divide into bowls and top with the almonds, orange zest and petals.
  5. Serve hot or cold.

Apple Galette with Oat Topping

November 14, 2025

This rustic galette recipe from India Mathews is a celebration of simple, honest ingredients and using the whole of the grain. Made with wholemeal flour, the pastry has a beautiful depth of flavour: nutty, buttery and subtly sweet. Beyond the taste, baking with wholemeal flour reduces food waste in the milling process.

Antalyan Style Piyaz of Flageolet Beans

November 07, 2025

Piyaz is a traditional Turkish bean salad, but in Antalya it takes on a unique and beloved twist. More than just a simple side, it becomes a hearty, flavourful dish in its own right, rich with tahini, olive oil and cumin, layered with herbs, eggs and tomatoes. Creamy flageolet beans form the base, while the tang of lemon and vinegar keeps it bright and refreshing. Finished with fragrant dill, parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac, this is a salad that’s as satisfying as it is vibrant, perfect served alongside grilled dishes or enjoyed simply with good bread.
