For a recipe for friable pearl barley, you need 250 g of boiled mushrooms, the rest can be finely chopped and frozen.

Cut into half rings peeled onion heads peeled from husks. Pour refined vegetable oil into a pan with a thick bottom, put chopped onion, add garlic, cut into thin slices.
Fry the onion and garlic for several minutes, add the carrots grated on a coarse grater. Cook the vegetables on moderate heat for 10 minutes, mix so as not to burn.
We sort out pearl barley - in pearl barley sometimes there may be foreign impregnations, for example, small pebbles, this is not the most pleasant find in a finished dish. Pour barley into a pan with vegetables.
On a small fire, fry the cereal with vegetables so that the grains are saturated with oil, and the sagha are fried.

Now pour the hot mushroom broth, add the finely chopped boiled boletus.
Ripe red, sweet tomato scald, remove the skin, cut the stem, remove the seeds. Cut the tomato pulp into small cubes, add to the rest of the ingredients.

We close the pan with a lid, after boiling, cook for about 40 minutes on a very low fire. Remove the finished porridge from the stove, wrap it in warm, leave for 15-20 minutes to steam.

We mix friable barley, put in plates and serve hot.
