Thyme-Scented Pearled Barley

1. 1

   In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil.

2. 2

   Add the pearled barley and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until lightly toasted; the grains will turn slightly opaque just before browning.

   Add the onion and thyme and cook over low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the water and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and bring to a boil.

5. 5

   Cover and cook over very low heat until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender.

6. 6

   Fluff the grains and discard the thyme sprigs.

7. 7

   Season the grains with salt and serve.
