The set of ingredients for such a simple dish as pea porridge with barley and cheese is quite simple - it is peas, barley, Adyghe cheese, water. You will need vegetable oil to fry the cheese. You also need salt.

Spices and herbs are added to your taste, but it is worth noting that these ingredients significantly decorate the dish, so you should not neglect them.

Wash the peas and pearl barley and place in a saucepan. Fill in BOILING (!!!) water to save yourself the hassle of uncooked peas. Add salt. You can put a bay leaf. Bring to a boil, skim off the foam and, reducing the heat, cook until tender.

Readiness is determined by almost completely boiled peas and soft pearl barley. This may take different times depending on the fire. But it’s better to cook pea porridge with barley on low heat. The porridge turns out viscous, it is better to let it be more liquid, because... After standing it will thicken significantly.

Adyghe cheese is a decoration for pea porridge with barley, but frying cheese is not the most primitive process. Difficulties may arise: strong splashing of oil (depending on the moisture content of the cheese), collapsed cheese (weakly heated frying pan and a lot of cheese was laid out), burnt cheese (were distracted and overcooked the cheese).

In a well-heated frying pan with oil (you can put some spices in the oil), place the cheese cubes in parts, so that they do not touch each other. When one side is browned, start turning the cubes over and fry the other side. Later, you can safely turn the cubes over with a spatula; they should not fall apart. Adyghe cheese fries quite quickly, so you should not leave the process unattended.

Place the prepared hot pea porridge with barley on a warm plate, add cubes of fried cheese, and add herbs. Serve to the table.
