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.

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!!
