Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces butter
2 -3 lbs stewing veal or 2 -3 lbs chicken pieces
1 lb leek, washed and trimmed, thickly sliced
4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
6 ounces pot barley
3 3/4 cups water
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar or 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 bay leaves
salt

15 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped or 1 tablespoon dried sage

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a heavy pan and fry the meat with the leeks and garlic till the vegetables are slightly softened and the meat lightly browned.
  • Add the barley, water, vinegar, bay leaves and seasoning.
  • Bring the pot to the boil.
  • Cover it and simmer gently for 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is really tender and ready to fall from the bone.

  • Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve in bowls-- the barley will serve as a vegetable.
  • (We served them on bread trenchers at our feast.).

I love the idea of a medieval stew, but this recipe needs some tweaking. The instructions were a bit unclear, and the stew ended up a bit too salty.

Not a fan. The barley was undercooked and the meat was tough. I think I'll stick to my usual stew recipe.

The stew had a pleasant aroma, but the flavor was a bit bland for my taste. I'll try adding more herbs and spices next time.
