COOKED HULLED BARLEY
Use this method for hulled, or unpearled, barley. You can skip the soaking step, in which case the barley will need to cook longer.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, soak barley overnight in 8 cups cold water. Transfer with liquid to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt, reduce to a simmer, and cook, partially covered, until barley is tender, 1 hour to 1 hour, 30 minutes. Drain, discarding liquid. Barley can be allowed to cool completely and refrigerated, covered, up to 1 week.
HOW TO COOK BARLEY
When buying barley, look for hulled or hull-less varieties over pearl. The former take longer to cook, but they pack more fiber because their outer layers are intact.

HOW TO COOK BARLEY
This simple guide will teach you how to cook barley perfectly every time! You can use hulled barley or pearled barley (I personally prefer the no-fuss, quick cooking pearl barley). Hulled barley will benefit from soaking in water for a few hours before cooking, and it will take longer to cook than pearl barley.

Steps:
- If using pearled barely, you do not need to soak it (skip to the next step). If you are using hulled barley, you have the option to soak the grains in water for a while before cooking. To soak the hulled barley, place 1 cup dry barley grains in a large bowl and add 3 cups of water. Set aside to soak for a few hours or up to overnight.
- Boil 3 cups of water or broth and add 1 cup of barley. Season with a big dash of kosher salt.
- Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until the liquid is absorbed (or mostly absorbed) and the barley is tender with a slightly chewy texture (about 25 to 30 minutes for pearl barley and up to 1 hour for hulled barley). Drain.
- Fluff the cooked pearl barley with a fork. Add parsley for garnish, if using.
