Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and fry until soft and beginning to turn golden brown. Add the garlic and fry, stirring, for another 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the paprika and fry, stirring continuously, for 15 seconds to bring out the flavour.

Add the beans, salt, stock and water. Raise the heat to bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the cabbage and barley. Reduce the heat to a simmer and partially cover the pot.

Simmer until the barley is tender – about 20 to 30 minutes.

Remove the pot from he heat and add the fresh dill.
