Slowly cook the pearl barley in a little water for about 20 minutes. Drain the pearl barley in a sieve and rinse. While the pearl barley is cooking, peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes. Clean the leek, carrot, and celery and also cut them into small cubes. Place the pre-cooked pearl barley and the vegetables in a pot with a little water. Add the stock cube and simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently and adding more water if necessary. In the meantime, season the minced meat with salt and pepper and form it into small meatballs. Cook the meatballs in a little water for about 10 minutes. Add the cooked meatballs along with the stock (or part of it) to the pearl barley and season with salt.
