Pearl Barley Porridge Cake (Barley Koliva)

This type of porridge used to be consumed as ritual food across Eastern Europe. Nowadays, it is served on nonreligious occasions, too, and we’re so happy about this because it is a mega-delicious and nutritious dessert. And how can it be otherwise when you bring barley, semolina, and walnuts together, sweeten them and flavor them with rum extract and lemon zest?

Well, I love to eat! I guess I always did. Tasty foods, traditional foods, fast-foods, healthy foods and, again, not so healthy ones. You name it.
