Vegetarian Stew: A Crock Pot Recipe for Non-Skilled Cooks

Disclaimer: I am not a terribly good chef, but this stew is delicious.

Ingredients:

1 medium-large eggplant
3-5 carrots
1-2 head(s) of bok choy
1 can diced tomatoes
1 onion
1 pepper (green, red, orange, yellow, whatever!)
1 cup of water
garlic salt to taste
(Tomatoes and bok choy essential. Can add/substitute zucchini, yellow squash, beets, kale, spinach, etc. to stew.  These ingredients happened to be in my fridge.)

Ridiculously East Directions:

Cut your vegetables.
Put them in your crock pot.  For slow cook (6-8 hours), put crock pot on low-medium heat; for "quick" cook (2-4 hours), put crock pot on high.
Add salt to taste.
Enjoy.

  1. THEY'RE THE BEST. For a lot of reasons, but also because I'm intimidated by the thought of making a stew on a stove top. For some reason the crock pot seems less threatening. Check out tag sales for one!
