Serves: 8

Prep: 30 minutes

Cook time: 90 minutes cooking

1. With a fillet knife, carefully remove any silver skin from stew meat. Season meat with salt and pepper. Over medium-high heat, add oil to a heavy-bottomed pan like a Dutch oven with a lid. Sear meat, tossing occasionally for about 2 minutes on each side until brown. Remove to a plate.

2. Without adding extra oil, add onion, carrot, and celeriac, and sauté. Reduce heat to medium and make sure to scrape the browned bits of the bottom of the pan. Add meat and any drippings back to pot. Cover about halfway with wine. Reduce to about half and until color is cloudy and no longer wine red. Add stock. Crush rosemary with fingers before adding to pot. Stir in cooked barley.

3. Turn heat down to low and, using a spoon, skim and discard foam from the top. When the stew is barely simmering, cover, and let cook for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, stir in cabbage, replace lid, and return to a very low simmer for another 45 minutes.

4. Stew is done when the meat yields to pressure but doesn’t crumble. Stir in chopped parsley, and a couple splashes of red wine vinegar. For best results, allow the stew to cure in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

5. Serve in bowls, garnished with parsley and a healthy spoonful of whipped cream. Sprinkle with coarse salt and a couple grinds of black pepper.
