Here are instructions for cooking pearled barley. You'll need this recipe if you're going to cook the beet greens & barley gratin recipe published today. Barley is also a great substitute for brown rice as a side dish.
Basic Pearled Barley
1 c. pearled barley, rinsed
3 c. water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. butter
Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 30 minutes. The barley is done when all the liquid is absorbed and the barley is tender. Add a little more water, a tablespoon or two at a time, if the barley is not quite done, and cook for a little while longer.
