DISCLAIMER

I recommend using the Metric measurements (instead of cups & spoons) for more accuracy and better results.

Instructions

  • PLESE NOTE: You can cook this in the oven or on the stove top, If you have a Slow Cooker use that too.
  • First cut the meat into small pieces and remove any excess fat.
  • Now add the meat and pearl barley with the water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 11/2 hours on a low heat.
  • Then add the diced vegetables and the stock, season with Salt & Pepper and cook for a further 11/2 hours until the meat is tender.
  • Now taste and adjust the seasoning to your taste. Sprinkle with chopped parsley just before serving.
  • Serve with fresh crusty bread, however I like to serve it with boiled potatoes and a green veg that's in season. I especially love it with Savoy cabbage.
