I had a request for some vegetarian slow cooker recipes, and this rich, vegan stew was one of the first things I decided to try.  The simplicity of the prep is that all you really have to do is chop up the sweet potatoes and some onion, then throw it all in the pot.  It makes a flavorful and satisfying cold-weather meal.<\/p>\n\n\n

Toss in some fresh spinach for the last few minutes of cooking, and then serve with rice, or quinoa, or just as is.\u00a0 Adjust the heat levels to your personal preferences.\u00a0 This is also nice garnished with some chopped, roasted peanuts and\/or some fresh cilantro.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Instructions
    <\/div> <\/h3>
    • Combine all ingredients, except the spinach, in your crock pot.\u00a0 The peanut butter will incorporate as this cooks, so don\u2019t worry about adding it in as a lump.\u00a0Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 6 hours.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
    • When the sweet potatoes are tender, stir in the spinach, cover, and let it cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.\u00a0 Taste and adjust the salt and seasonings, if needed.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
