SWEET POTATO BARLEY RISOTTO IN THE CROCK POT

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.
