Rice Cooker Herbed Barley

I ended up with a bag of pearled barley and an article about repurposing your rice cooker to make other foods. Seemed like a good match to me! It came out beautifully and makes a great side dish. I made a few minor adaptations for what I had on hand and my rice cooker took longer than 40 minutes (will probably vary by cooker).

Rice Cooker Herbed Barley
2 Tbs margarine
2 Tbs onion flakes
2 Tbs parsley flakes
1 1/2 C pearled barley
3 1/4 C vegetable stock
1/2 C water
Non-stick cooking spray
Salt to taste

Spray rice cooker pan with non-stick cooking spray. Add ingredients and salt to taste. Cover and cook about 40 minutes or until rice cooker shuts off. Stir gently to loosen barley from the bottom of the pan. Cover and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Oh, thank you for this, it looks delicious! I love barley and have a rice cooker but hadn't ever thought to combine them!
