tastes great to children too

Cook the pearl barley in salted water with the lovage according to the package instructions. Peel and coarsely grate the carrots, wash the leek and slice into thin rings. Wash and finely chop the parsley. Then, brown the minced meat in a large pot, add the carrots and a little water, and continue simmering. Add the leek shortly after. Once the pearl barley is ready, place it in a large sieve, rinse, and discard the lovage. Then add it to the other ingredients in the large pot. Add hot water until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt, pepper, and vegetable stock. Before serving, add the finely chopped parsley and let it simmer once. The lovage isn’t absolutely necessary; the stew tastes good without it. But if you can get it, I highly recommend it!
