Black cabbage with pearl barley and sage.

This is another dish inspired by seasonal changes in produce available in my local green grocer. Combination of black cabbage and pearl barley in my opinion really works. Fresh sage combined with butter adds another layer of flavour to this dish. I have also added half a leak and half of green pepper. So to serve two I have used:

1. Bunch of black cabbage.
2. Three small onions (180 g).
3. Pearl barley 100 g.
4. Half a leek and half a green pepper.
5. Unsalted butter 20 g.
6. Two sprigs sage leaves picked and chopped.

Chop the onions and gently brown them in a saucepan add dry pearl barley and sage continue frying for another minute until all ingredients combine. Add chopped leek and black cabagge roughly cut, stir it keeping the pan onmedium heat. Pour 200 ml boiling water in to the pan reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Now add the green pepper and continue to simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes until barley is soft. Season with salt and pepper. It's as simple as that enjoy.
