Plums have a sweet but brightly acidic flavor, which suits them well as a topping for this savory porridge.

Ingredients

4 servings

1

cup unhulled barley

Kosher salt

1

cup almond milk

¼

teaspoon cardamom

5

tablespoons honey, divided, plus more for drizzling

1

pound plums, cut into wedges

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook barley in a large saucepan of boiling lightly salted water until tender, 30–40 minutes. Drain and return to saucepan. Add almond milk, cardamom, 2 Tbsp. honey, and a pinch of salt and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warm.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, cook plums, 3 Tbsp. honey, and 3 Tbsp. water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until plums are soft and liquid is syrupy, 8–12 minutes.

    Step 3

    Divide porridge among bowls. Top with plum mixture and drizzle with honey.
