Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

3 T olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 leeks bunch, thickly sliced
1 carrots bunch, peeled and thickly sliced
1 turnips bunch, peeled and quartered
1 parsnips bunch, peeled and thickly sliced
500 g pumpkin, peeled and cut into chunks
350 g potatoes, peeled and halved or quartered
1 cauliflower, broken into large florets
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1½ cups Vegetable stock
Cooked pearl barley, for serving

For the burnt sage butter:

100 g butter
Sage leaves a handful

Method

Slowly cook the onion and celery in the olive oil until meltingly tender, adding more oil if necessary. Stir in the garlic. Add the vegetables, placing the cauliflower on top, and season.

Pour in the stock, cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until tender, adding more stock if necessary. Serve in big bowls over the barley and spoon over the hot sage butter.

To make the burnt sage butter, heat the butter in a pan until it begins to foam. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is brown and the sage leaves are crisp.
