Crockpot Cooking

Does anyone use those Reynold’s slow cooker liners? If not, you should - I think that was the best feeling every, lifting that dirty bag out of the crockpot and knowing I didn’t have to let anything soak, and didn’t have to scrub anything. Highly recommended! Here’s what I made yesterday for dinner:

Garden Vegetable Tabboleh Stew

• 1 med onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, cut in half longways and then sliced
• 1 cup green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
• 2 green onions, sliced thin
• 1 zucchini, sliced
• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 cans diced tomatoes with juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1 box tabboleh mix
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup olive oil

Layer everything in the crockpot in this order: onions, carrots, green beans, zuccini, green onions, chick peas and tomatoes. Add salt and pepper. Sprinkle box of tabboleh mix (with seasoning) evenly over the top, then pour water and olive oil over tabboleh. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Serve with sour cream and mint.

I skipped the sour cream and mint, and served it with tortilla chips.

Yum! And no clean up! Thanks to my handy crock pot liner!
