Pearl barley is a very nutritious grain that has a distinct texture and gives a slight creaminess to the stew. We have paired it with bacon in this dish to create a filling stew that won't cost too much to make. If you need to buy the barley, you can use what is left in other stews and soups to bulk them out or as a side dish.
