SC - RE:SC Barley

[pat fee]

havew a recipe from the late 1800.

                       Scotts (or Home) Broth
  I large mutton bone(probably the shin bone cut up)
  4 large carrots cut in Large pieces
  4 large leeks white part only, cut in chunks (you can use onion, leeks 
give a better flavor)
  4 cloves garlic peeled and slightly hammered.  (yes the original says 
hammered.) Crushed would do.
  8 quarts water.
  Salt to tast.
  3 lbs mutton (the original says left over from a joint plus any gravy)
  2 large carrots cut in a dice
  2 large leeks white part only diced.
  I cup (8 oz) soaked barley.

  Place bone in with your joint when you cook it to roast. Remove after it 
is a golden brown.
Place this in the pot with the carrots, leeks and and garlic. Cover with the 
water and cook  slowely for 6 hours.  Tast and add salt as you like it. You 
can add pepper here too, but the original doesn't call for it
  When cooked (the veggies will pretty much be mush) remove bone and add 
barley.  Cook until chewy. Add diced carrots, leeks, meat and gravy. cook 
untill vegtables and barley are soft(the original says untill the baby can 
et the soup for his supper. Tast and ajust for salt.

Enjoy
