2 tablespoons Olive oil
1/4 bunch Parsley
3/8 cup Barley
3/8 cup Split peas
1 clove Garlic (pressed)

3.5 ounces Red or Purple cabbage
1 Lemon's juice
2 tablespoons Apple cider

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Cut up the leeks & carrots. Add the olive oil to a saucepan, then add the leeks & carrots and simmer for minutes over medium heat.
  2. Remove the leaves from the parsley stems and set them aside. Chop up the stems. Add the peas, barley, vegetable broth, chopped parsley stalks, and pressed garlic to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes

Lower the heat of the saucepan to low, then add both cabbages, half of the chopped parsley, the lemon juice, apple cider, and whichever syrup you prefer. Stir well, cover, then cook for 10 more minutes. Season with salt & pepper to preference and serve garnished with the remaining parsley and with a side of bread.
