Rinse the pearl barley in a sieve. Cook with the stock for about 5 minutes, remove from the heat, and let it swell in a covered pot for 50 minutes. Finely dice the carrot, leek, and celery. Cook in salted water for about 5 minutes, drain, and refresh with cold water. Pour the pearl barley into a sieve and rinse thoroughly. Melt a little butter in a pan and sauté the bacon cubes and vegetables. Add the pearl barley and mix well, then add the capers and season. If it’s a bit too dry, add a little more stock. This would then be 4 pieces per person.
