Melt all the butter in a large pot. Soften onion, leek, carrot and both celeries for about 7 min, stirring. Add barley for 2 min, then all the stock, bay, marjoram, thyme, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer and cook partially covered for about 40 min, stirring the bottom, until the grains have begun to soften.

Add potatoes and simmer gently for about 25 min until potatoes and barley are tender. During the last 10 min of this cooking time, add all the already cooked pork and stir: it must be piping hot at 75 °C for 30 s. Watch to prevent sticking and extend gentle covered cooking if the grain needs it. Remove bay and divide all the stew with all the parsley.
