SWEET POTATO BARLEY RISOTTO IN THE CROCK POT
For Christmas 2005 my sweet husband got me a bunch of low fat cookbooks. So for my favorite has been a Canadian one called "125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes" by Judith Finlayson. This is an adaptation of a recipe from that cookbook that we enjoyed. If you desire some cheese can be sprinkled on the finished product, but we didn't think it needed it. For the record, I used an olive oil infused with garlic. Olive or vegetable would be good here.

Steps:
- Chop your onions finely.
- Peel the sweet potato and chop into small pieces. I like to keep my chopped sweet potato in a bowl of water until I need it because I think it keeps it from changing color.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with the oil in it. When the oil gets hot add the onions and cook until softened, stirring frequently.
- Then add the garlic and rosemary and stir for about a minute.
- Stir in the barley and stir until the barley is combined well.
- Add the stock and bring to a boil.
- Drain the sweet potatoes (if they were in water) and place into a large crockpot.
- Pour the boiling stock mixture over top and stir well.
- Cook on low for 8 hours until the barley and sweet potato are cooked through. If possible open the crockpot about halfway through and stir well.
