I bought a new crockpot.
Was very excited untilI overcooked Quinao and broccoli.
I am looking online for good veg recipes but not too many out there

^Chickpea Stew w/ Apricots & Turnips. When I made this I did it on the stovetop because I was in a bit of a hurry, but the recipe is written for the crockpot and it was very tasty over some quinoa. And second the chili idea, yum. I don't have a recipe for that because I usually just eyeball it, but adding a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder along with the chili powder/other spices really adds a little something something.0 -

Coming up on summer, so I'll be making fake chorizo and peppers in my crock pot... I adapt this recipe from http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/pork-crock-pot-recipes/portuguese-chorizo-peppers.htm
2 pounds chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled (I use 'Soyrizo' from Stop and Shop)
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
2 sweet onion, peeled and chopped
1 6 ounce can tomato paste
1 cup red wine (I always use local port wine, goes over very well with my friends)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
In a slow cooker, combine the sausage, green pepper, onion, tomato paste, wine, water and crushed garlic.
Stir so that everything is evenly distributed. Cover and set on low.
Cook for 8 hours. Uncover the pot and cook an additional 2 hours to allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
Serve over rice or with Portuguese bread. You can also get some torpedo type rolls, it makes for excellent sandwiches once the liquid cooks off.
Makes 8 servings.
As a plus, if you make it overnight your place smells excellent when you wake up.0 -
I love yam curry... could probably be a crockput dish
it's seasoned with clove, a cinnamon stick, bay leaf, a bit of turmeric, cumin,
then in it goes yams, coconut milk, and whatever veggies you want - kale, pumpkin, celery, eggplant... pretty freeform
when it's ready I throw in some white beans from a can (drained and rinsed - or rehydrated and cooked) and finish with fresh corriander0 -
Here is a VERY simple soup recipe that my family loves. It does involve a lot of canned items so you may not like the sodium factor, but with that said, I am always well under my sodium ratio each day so I don't usually work about it.
I just made this up so you may have to adjust it to your crock pot size, this is for a 4 qt.
Add 1 package of frozen vegetables (I use Birdseye Fresh Steam variety) or you can use fresh if readily available
1 can of tomato soup
1 can of beef (or vegetable) broth
1 can of Hunts diced Italian herb tomatoes w/fluid
1 can drained kidney beans
Fill the remainder of the crock pot up with water.
Cook on high for 4 hours or cook or low for 6-8. The last 15 minutes of cook time add (1) cup of elbow pasta.
Optional: You can add 1 fresh zucchini and it is a really yummy addition! Just be sure to that if you are doing the fast 4 hour mode that you pre-cook the zucchini a little bit otherwise it might not be done all the way. If you let it cook for 8 hours it will be fine.
My family loves this homemade soup. I made it last night and the leftovers will be my lunch this week. Approximately 320 calories for this hearty soup.
Side note: I am not a vegetarian so I hope this recipe meets your dietary requirements.0 -
Spicy Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew with Chipoltes
This is a recipe from the 2/26/2013 New York Times "Recipes for Health" section. While it is written for stove top cooking, it could easily be made in a crock pot. It is very tasty with sweet and spicy elements along with high fiber. The NYT intro: "The sweetness of the sweet potatoes infuses this Mexican-inspired lentil dish along with the heat of the chipotles, which also have a certain sweetness as well because of the adobo sauce they are packed in. The combination, with the savory lentils, is a winner."
Olive oil - 1 tbsp
Onion - 1 Medium diced
Garlic - 2 Cloves finely diced
Salt - to taste
Cumin seeds - 2 tsp
Carrots - 2 Medium
Brown or Green Lentils - 1.5 cups
Water - 6 Cups
Sweet potatoes - 2 Medium peeled and diced
Chipoltes - 1 to 2 seeded and chopped to taste
Tomato Paste - 2 tbsp
Bay leaf - 1
Fresh Cilantro or Parsley - 1/4 Cup
Lime Wedges for Serving
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until it softens, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, about 30 seconds, and add the ground cumin seeds and carrots. Stir together for a minute, then add the lentils, water, peeled and diced sweet potatoes, chipotles, tomato paste, salt to taste and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 to 45 minutes, until the lentils and sweet potatoes are tender and the broth fragrant. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the cilantro or parsley, simmer for another minute, and serve, passing lime wedges so diners can season their lentils with a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
For a crockpot, I would double all the ingredients and combine them in the crock pot and cook on low for four hours. Then taste. I would guess that six hours would be plenty and it could probably go for as long as eight hours, but might get a bit liquified. BTW, soak dry lentils in fresh water for several hours before adding.0 -
Everything sounds amazing! THANK YOU!0

This was posted last week in another crock pot thread by another member and I made it over the weekend. Very yummy!
This one is easy and I've served it to others several times and everyone really likes it
Lentil Soup (serves 8)
Throw all of this stuff in the crock pot in the morning. Turn it on low for 8+ hours (sometimes I do more than 8 hours and it’s always been fine)
3 Raw Carrots Chopped
3 Stalks of Celery - Chopped
1 Onion - Chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic - Diced
2 C lentils (rinsed) (I've used whatever the cheapest bulk lentils I could find at Sprouts)
64oz of Vegetable broth
1 can of diced tomatoes (I prefer the Rotel with Habanero so that it has some spice, I didn’t think the jalapeno ones had enough spice but I may be crazy) OPTIONAL
3 Russet potatoes (small or medium) – OPTIONAL (I often add these for bulk)
About 15 minutes before serving add:
1.5 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
2 cups Kale (or other green like Spinach or Collard Greens)
Salt & pepper to taste0 -
Oops--you don't have to soak the lentils in the recipe I posted above. Just rinse dry lentils, toss them in, cook 'em and you're good to go.0
