Step 3

Rinse the barley, place it in a heavy-bottomed pot, and add water so that it is 3 centimeters above the grain. Place over low heat, add salt, and cook for 40–50 minutes, leaving the lid slightly ajar. When the grain is cooked and the water is absorbed, add the butter and stir. Cover the pot and let it stand for 10 minutes.
