Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pork Shoulder:

    • Use pork shoulder that has been previously roasted in a covered casserole with some water and a little soy sauce or salt. Allow it to cool enough to handle, then de-bone, de-fat, and dice for use in this recipe.
  2. Cook Barley:

    • Cook about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of barley according to package instructions until you have 2 cups of cooked barley.
  3. Prepare Potatoes:

    • Wash and trim the potatoes, then cut them into 1 cm (1/2″) dice.
  4. Boil Potatoes:

    • Place the diced potatoes in a large heavy skillet with the water and boil for about ten minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
  5. Stir Frequently:

    • Stir frequently, especially as the water begins to evaporate, to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the skillet.
  6. Add Fat:

    • Once the water has evaporated, add the fat to the skillet and stir well to incorporate it with the potatoes.
  7. Prepare Onion and Celery:

    • Meanwhile, peel and dice the onion, and wash and dice the celery.
  8. Saute Onion and Celery:

    • Add the diced onion and celery to the skillet as soon as the fat is melted. Saute until they are soft and the potatoes are slightly browned.
  9. Combine Ingredients:

    • Add the cooked barley, diced roast pork shoulder, pork broth, and frozen peas to the skillet.
  10. Season and Cook:

    • Season the hash with savory, sage, salt, and pepper according to taste. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until all ingredients are well amalgamated and heated through.
  11. Serve:

    • Once the Pork and Barley Hash is hot and flavorful, serve it hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
