Steps:
- Soak beans overnight in water. Wash the beans and put it in fresh cold water unit it boils. Cook it for 10 minutes, change the water, and cook for more 20-30 minutes. Remove beans and put it in cold water.
- Melt the lard in the pot and add the sliced onion. Sauté the onion until it is soft. Add minced pancetta and sauté it for 5 more minutes, than add garlic. Sauté it for 1-2 minutes and add flour. Sauté it until the flour is slightly brown and than add paprika and chilli.
- Add water gently and make a cream of all ingredients. Than add beans and bay leaf and water to cover the beans. Cook for 1 hour on very gently fire. (in Croatia we have special sausages "cesnjovke" which we put in this beans and cook all together, but you can put any kind of smoked, dried meat - pork or beef).
- Very important to know is that you do not add chilli or any kind of hot paprika afterwards. Hot paprika must be cooked from the very beginning or you will suffer from very bad digestive process. We in Croatia always drink alcohol if we eat something hot, otherwise, you'll also have very bad digestive process. This meal is very good during cold winter, it renews your strength.

- We start with finely chopping the onions and saute them in oil when the onion becomes translucent, add the diced carrots, which should also be fried for a short time. Add the washed barley porridge to the pot, cover with water and simmer over low heat for around one and a half hours
- Season with salt and pepper and add the bay leaf. I like to add quite a big amount of pepper as it goes really well with this dish
- At the very end, add the drained beans and the dried meat, sausage, bacon (or whatever meat you have on hand or prefer). I have used my favorite sausages that I have cut in slices before putting inside the pot
- Finally make a light roux of flour, oil and red sweet ground paprika with which you will thicken the barley stew. Pour the roux inside and mix it so it incorporates in the stew
