Slow Cooker Polenta & Vegetable Ragout

Options
Meatless, but you'll never miss it with this one!

1 26-32oz Jar Meatless Tomato Pasta Sauce
1 md Eggplant peeled and cubed
1 md Zucchini cut into chunks
1 md Onion chopped
8oz fresh Mushrooms quartered or sliced
1 C Vegetable Broth (I use low sodium)
1 16oz tube of refrigerated Polenta cut into cubes(or make your own for a fraction of the cost)
1/3 C grated Parmesan Cheese

Combine the first six ingredients in a slow cooker, cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or high 3-4hours. Stir in Polenta cubes, cover and cook another 15 minutes. Sprinkle each serving with cheese. I sometimes substitute green and red peppers for either the eggplant or zucchini. You could use any veggies you like.

    This recipe sounds really good, specially on a cold, rainy day like today. I think I'll try it, since I have all the ingredients on hand. Thanks for posting it.
