Step 1 of 5
Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, fennel, parsley stalks and carrot and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, for a further 3 minutes.
Step 2 of 5
Transfer to bowl of a 5L slow cooker. Add sweet potato, ham hock, stock, bay leaf and 1 litre water. Season with pepper. Cover with lid and cook on high for 4 1/2 hours or low for 7 hours or until ham hock is very tender.
