     1-1/2% hexametaphosphate. Transfer mixture to a vacuum bag   
     with remaining milk. Remove air and seal bag. Cook sous   
     vide 1 hour. Chill in ice bath.

     In a pan over low heat, melt a little butter and sweat   
     onion until translucent. Add cream, salts, and remaining   
     butter. When butter has melted and mixture is warm,   
     using a Vitamix blender and working in small batches,   
     blend cream and livers until smooth and combined. Pass   
     mixture through a chinois into a vacuum bag and remove   
     all air. Cook sous vide 1 hour. Chill in ice bath. Scale

     softened. Add 75 grams minced hearts and gizzards; heat   
     through. Add barley, stirring to coat, followed by   
     water. Cook on medium low heat, stirring constantly,   
     until most of the water has evaporated and barley has   
     the appearance of a loose risotto. Transfer to a sheet   
     tray and let cool.   
        
     TO ASSEMBLE AND SERVE In a sauce pot, add Pearl Barley   
     and cover with water. Stirring constantly, bring mixture   
     to a boil, adding water as necessary, until it achieves   
     a risotto-like consistency. Stir in a little Chicken   
     Liver Mousse and Ramp Butter. Season with Sherry vinegar   
     and salt. The Porridge should be rich, pungent, and   
     dirty. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
