An amazing anti-inflammatory veggie stew made overnight in the slow cooker using whatever I had without leaving the house!
1. Rinse and soak dried lentils in a bowl for 30min
2. Chop onions and carrots into cubes and sauté in a pan with some olive oil. Peel sweet potato, slice and chop other veggies.
3. Empty into the slow cooker and add tomatoes, cabbage, sweet potato, lentils
4. Dissolve a tsp of curry paste into a bowl of water. Add dried herbs and mix. Pour over veggies in slow cooker.
5. Add a jar of stock (optional) or add another bowl of water. Turn on slow cooker overnight and ta-da: awaken tomorrow to the aroma of healing delight!
Veggies have a lot of water so will generate liquid overnight. Salt was not required and ground black pepper finished it off! Did not have celery on hand but the onions, carrot, sweet potato and cabbage made an exceptionally sweet stew. Did not have tomato paste nor passata but using freshly chopped tomatoes and the curry paste made a delicious, hearty, anti-inflammatory stew!
Documenting my first recipe that I didn’t expect to turn out well but came out amazing! Was actually just going to make a simple veggie stew with stock but without tomato paste and passata the curry paste worked so well I don’t think stock was necessary!
