Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 1 hr 15 mins

Ingredients

  • 100g onion, diced
  • olive oil, for frying
  • 100g celery sticks, diced
  • 15g garlic
  • 50g leeks, sliced and washed
  • 100g carrots, diced
  • 500g beef shin
  • 150g pearl barley
  • 20g wild rosemary
  • 3L strong chicken stock
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1

Sweat the onion in a heavy-based pot with a drizzle of olive oil until translucent. Add the celery, garlic, leek and carrot and sweat for five more minutes. Remove from the pot and turn up the heat.

2

Add a little more olive oil and brown the meat. Add the barley and the wild rosemary and cook for 5 minutes, deglazing with a little chicken stock when needed. Return the vegetables to the pot and pour over the remainder of the chicken stock. Bring to a boil then turn the heat down and simmer until the barley is soft, about an hour. The soup should be quite thick.
