3. When soft, add the pearl barley and fry for 1 minute.
4. Add 200 ml boiling water and the crumbled stock cube and stir well.
5. Season with black pepper and mixed herbs.
6. As the water becomes absorbed, add more in small amounts, continually stirring, until the pearl barley becomes soft (approximately 50 minutes).
