SMOKED HAM, BARLEY, AND VEGETABLE SOUP
Steps:
- Bring broth and ham hocks to boil in large pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes. Add diced potatoes, tomatoes with juices, onion, carrots, celery, barley, and oregano. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered until meat and barley are tender, about 1 hour.
- Using tongs, remove ham hocks from soup. Cut meat off bones and chop coarsely. Return meat to soup; discard bones. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Refrigerate uncovered until cold, then cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing.) Add green beans; simmer until beans are tender, about 15 minutes. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose the right ham: A good-quality, boneless ham with a nice layer of fat will yield the best results.
- Soak the barley: Soaking the barley overnight will help it to cook more evenly.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use to cook the barley will add flavor to the roll-ups, so choose one that you like.
- Don't overcook the barley: The barley should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to it.
- Let the roll-ups cool before slicing: This will help them to hold their shape.
