This is a basic recipe for cooked barley. Use the barley in soups, stews, salads, etc. If you want it as a side dish, add any spices or herbs you desired, and sub broth for the water. This is for stove top pressure cooker. If you have an electric cooker, follow your manufacturers instructions. Yields 4 cups. NOTE: Do not leave out the oil. It keeps the barley from bubbling too much and clogging the steam vent. This is a good hint for cooking beans, also.
