Directions:
- Put the ham hock and 4-5l water into a pot with all the veg, herbs, and garlic. Bring to the boil, skim, then turn down the heat and leave to simmer for 4 hours, skimming occasionally until the meat is falling off the bone.
- Lift the ham out and leave it to cool. Take out the veg and put to one side. Throw away the thyme and bay leaves.
- Chop the veg into nice small chunks.
- Put the ham stock back on the stove and bring to a simmer. Give it a final skim then add the sage and pearl barley, cooking the barley according to the time on the packet.
- Pick and chuck the bigger bits of fat off the ham hock, then shred the meat into soup-size chunks. Stir this, along with the veg, into the stock and check the seasoning.
- About 25 minutes before the barley is cooked, stir in the cavolo nero. Cover the broth with a lid and simmer until the barley and cavolo are cooked. Season liberally.
- Serve in big bowls with a drizzle of olive oil and some crusty bread.
