Two potato topped vegetable pie

I have been making this recipe for so long, I don't even remember where it originated!  It is a very low-fat vegan recipe that is deliciously filling and can easily used as a main entree.  Bring it along to a potluck dinner and the guests will be thrilled!   
   


 5 Medium Kohlrabi - peeled and chopped (if you cannot find, substitute turnip or rutabaga)    
1/2 cup barley
1 onion, chopped
1 rib celery, sliced
1 carrot, diced
1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup vegetable broth
2 cups mashed potatoes
2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed



Place all ingredients, except the potatoes, in a large saucepan & bring to
a boil.  Cover, reduce heat & simmer until the vegetables & barley are tender,
about 45 minutes.  Preheat the oven to 350F.  Transfer the cooked mixture
to a lightly oiled casserole dish & top with alternate diagonal rows of both
kinds of potato. (For a more decorative look, try piping the potatoes).
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the edges bubble & the potatoes are golden
brown.  Serve immediately.
