Yummy Barley as Side

I had (and still have because a little goes a long way) some dry barley left in my pantry from a Beef and Barley stew I made.  It has been sitting in the pantry for some time.  Well I decided to try it as a side.  Everyone in the family loved it. (Everyone had more than one helping.)  I am going to add it to my side dish rotation.

1 cup medium pearl barley

1/2 cup chopped onion
