Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  • Brown the onion, celery, carrots, parsnips, and turnips in 15ml of oil in a casserole for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic, cook briefly, then remove vegetables and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil and brown the seasoned hogget on all sides for 10 minutes.
  • Pour in cider and stock, add thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf, then bring to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook in the oven for one hour.
  • Turn the meat over, add the rinsed pearl barley, and return the vegetables to the casserole.
  • Cook for another 90 minutes until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  • Carve the meat into thick slices and serve over the barley and vegetables garnished with parsley.
