Looking to put a fresh twist on entertaining at home? Set a warm and casual tone by inviting friends and family to enjoy a classic Irish supper that pairs ideally with both light and full-bodied beer. This easy recipe from GoBarley can be prepared the evening before and reheated in the oven, or assembled in the slow cooker in the morning to simmer all day. It features a host of hearty, natural ingredients perfect for a winter meal, including barley – a superfood rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants.
