beloved by the family. As the barley absorbs most of the beef stock, it kind of resembles a stew. The best part is that it grows better with age, so prepare a lot and enjoy over the week! You may wish to prepare it one day, store it in the fridge overnight, and then prepare it once more the following day because it always tastes better the second day.
