Here is a healthy vegetarian crockpot recipe. I try to eat as many
vegetables a day as I can. I often make my meals based on the
vegetables I have on hand. I'm sure you could add other veggies to this
like zucchini, etc.
Morrocan Chickpea Stew
1 onion, sliced
3 carrots, sliced
1 large can black olives
16 oz can Chick peas (garbanzos)- can be replaced with chicken breasts
1 can (14 1/2 oz) tomatoes or 4 fresh chopped.
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans chicken broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1 lemon sliced with peel on
salt and pepper to taste
garnish with fresh cilantro (optional)
Chuck
it all in the crockpot and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4
hours, the flavors really meld nicely. The lemon is a must. If you
use dried chick peas make sure to soak overnight first. Serve over whole wheat couscous which cooks up in 5 mins. Could also be served over quinoa or brown rice.
