How to Make Veal Or Chicken Stew With Herbs Barley
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 pound of cubed veal or chicken and 2 chopped leeks, along with 2 minced cloves of garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened and the meat is lightly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
- Stir in 1 cup of pearl barley, 4 cups of water or broth, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1-1.5 hours, or until the meat is incredibly tender and easily falls off the bone.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh sage leaves (chopped). Continue to cook for another 5 minutes to allow the sage to infuse its flavor.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to your preference. Serve hot in bowls. The barley acts as a delightful vegetable in this dish!
