Ingredients
- Barley
- Water
- Salt (optional)
- Neutral cooking oil (optional, to reduce foaming)
Directions
If desired, rinse barley under running water until water runs clear.
Place the barley in a pot, and add enough water to cover the barley by several inches. Add salt and oil.
Cover, and bring to a boil, skimming any foam that forms.
Boil until barley grains have swelled to 3 times their original size and are a semiopaque white.
Drain into a colander.
