Boiled Barley Grains - Mushroom, carrots "porridge"

I cooked a cup of dry ‪#‎barley‬ with 4L water in my pressure cooker to make barley water in this horrid weather. 

After draining the barley water, I always felt it was such a waste to throw away the beans, but it was too plain tasting to eat on its own. So I've been looking at recipes to use them.

Today I added some diced carrots, mushrooms and garlic to some barley grains, together with stock (I crumbled a small chicken stock cube), wanting to make something like a ‪#‎risotto‬. But I guess the water didn't really dry up as much since I used an electric lunch box steamer. So it ended up tasting like porridge. Still very good, though. 

Im gonna try #barley ‪#‎pudding‬ next.
