  • 1 diced carrot
  • 150g mixed wild mushrooms, chopped
  • 120g pearl barley
  • 300ml strong chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • Add the oil to a frying pan and fry the bacon for 2 mins, then stir in the garlic, celery and carrot. Reduce the heat and fry for 5 mins, stirring regularly, until the vegetables are softened. Add the chopped mushrooms, season well, and fry for 2 mins.
