Mulgipuder (Barley & Potato Porridge)

About

The Estonian national dish and ultimate comfort food — pearl barley and potatoes slow-cooked together until thick and creamy, seasoned with salt and served with a generous knob of butter and crispy pork crackling or bacon. Named after the Mulgi people of southern Estonia, mulgipuder is ancient, filling, and deeply satisfying — the kind of dish that makes sense on a cold Baltic evening. Every Estonian grandmother makes it slightly differently.
