Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 cup pearl barley ((see notes for hulled))
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt ((optional))
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil ((optional))

Instruction

  • Add the barley (1 cup), water (2 cups), salt (1/4 teaspoon), and olive oil (1 tablespoon) to your pressure cooker. Stir together.
  • Make sure the vent is set to "sealed." Cover the pressure cooker and set the pressure to manual, high, for 20 minutes.
  • When the time is up, quick release the pressure by using a wooden spoon (or something similar) to change the vent from "sealed" to "venting."
  • Once the float valve has depressed and it's safe to open, open the pressure cooker and fluff barley with a fork.
