|
3. Put the prepared head into a large pan, cover with cold water, bring to the boil, skim and add the peas and barley.
|
4. Simmer for 2 hours, then add the diced vegetables and simmer for 1 hour longer.

5. Season to taste.
|
6. Remove the head on to the serving dish and keep hot.

7. This is served separately as the meat course.
|
