Add the beef, vegetables, chickpeas, garlic cloves (do not chop - add whole), beef feet, and all spices to a slow cooker. Mix well to combine everything.

Step 4

Wrap barley or wheatberries in a piece of cheesecloth and tie with a sting. Add to the slow cooker.

When you're ready to serve remove the meat, vegetables and chickpeas.

Step 9

You may need to transfer the remaining liquid to a pan, turning heat on high to reduce to a thicker sauce.
