Instant Pot Barley

water

olive oil (or unsalted butter)

salt

Stir together barley, water, oil and salt in the insert of an instant pot.

Cover and set vent to sealed. Pressure cook on high for 20 minutes.

Carefully turn vent to quick release (or natural release if desired.) Remove lid and fluff with a fork. If there is excess moisture in the bottom of the instant pot insert, drain the cooked barley through a fine-mesh sieve.

So easy, so delicious! Thank you for another great recipe. :)

Another reason to love my Instant Pot! Love how healthy and easy this recipe is and so many great uses. Thanks for sharing!

This is such an easy and quick way to cook barley. It's a nice change to using rice or potatoes as the carbs for my meals.

My new favorite way to cook barley! The barley was perfectly cooked and fluffy.

I love a good soup recipe and barley is delicious! This is great that it's made in the instant pot!

Lots of words but actual recipe is  very brief and UNCLEAR.


    Is amount of hulled/pot barley measured before or after rinsing? It makes a difference!!
