Slow Cooker Vegetable Curry Stew Recipe


Vegan and Vegetarian Slow Cooker/ Crock Pot Recipe

I love slow cooker recipes for the same reason as most people - being able to place some ingredients into a pot, turn the switch on, forget about it for a few hours then return to your kitchen to be welcomed by a delicious aroma of a freshly cooked meal all warm and cooked to perfection ready to be served to a room of hungry loved ones.

My crock pot vegetable curry stew is so very tasty and easy to cook.

I use a combination of spices, garlic and tomato paste for the seasoning and use carrots, potatoes, turnips, green beans and more for the bulk of the stew.

This vegetarian and vegan slow cooker recipe is keeper for anybody as the flavour is so very good that you would not feel there is any need for meat in this recipe.

As far a vegetarian slow cooker recipes are concerned this one is a winner.

I love curry but have never tried a veggie one. I love that this is done in the slow cooker, that stops the veggies getting all mushy but allows them to soak up all the delish flavors.

well I'm here now. yes, this looks good and I love curry. I also wanted to say to you (because I thought of you when I saw it), if you head over to the blog 101cookbooks, she has a jamaican veggie patty. Oh it looks so good. I think you would love it, but then again I bet you've already made it.
