1. Preheat the slow cooker to low. Heat half each of the oil and butter in a large deep frying pan, add the shallots and celery and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for a further minute. Increase the heat and add the pearl barley, stirring for 1 minute.
2. Pour in the white wine, bubble for 2 minutes or until almost fully reduced. Transfer to the slow cooker, along with the hot stock, bay leaf and rosemary sprigs. Stir well; season. Cover with the lid and cook on the low setting for 1 hour.
3. Meanwhile, return the frying pan to a medium heat; add the remaining oil and butter. When hot, add the squash and increase the heat to high. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper and set aside.
4. After 1 hour the pearl barley should be almost tender. Stir in the squash and cook for a further 45 minutes-1 hour on the low setting until the stock has been almost fully absorbed, the barley is tender with a little bite, and the squash is cooked through. Switch off the slow cooker. Stir in the grated hard cheese and cream, season well and leave to sit for 5-10 minutes.
