Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a medium size sauce pan and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook covered until liquid is absorbed- about 30-45 minutes. (Pearl barley cooks in a shorter time than hulled barley whick may take up to 50 minutes to cook.)
- Barley will be tender yet chewy when done. If any liquid is still left in pan, allow to set for 5-10 minutes. Drain any remaining liquid before serving.
- Fluff barley with a fork before serving.
- *Note- if your barley package includes cooking instructions- refer to those for more specific cooking times and liquid amounts.
