Lunch Monday 11 September - Barley Stew


Barley Stew
1 onions, chopped (about 300g)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ribs celery, chopped (about 100g)
2 carrots, chopped (about 150g)
handful parsley, chopped (about 5g)
1 teaspoon Marigold vegetable Bouillon powder
1 teaspoon Vecon Vegetable Stock concentrate
100g pearl barley
1 litre water

Add oil to a large pot and saute onion, covered, over very low heat, until softened. Add carrots & celery and saute until they are also soft.

Add the barley and one litre of veggie stock (I started out with Marigold and then discovered the Vecon in the hoard - it needs to get used up!

Simmer over low heat until barley is cooked, about 35 minutes or more. Add the parsley in the last 10-15 minutes.

Serves 2.
