SLOW COOKER CHICKPEA, RED PEPPER AND TOMATO STEW



Slow Cooker Chickpea, Red Pepper and Tomato Stew image

This easy vegan stew is inspired by romesco, the Spanish sauce made from roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, olive oil and vinegar. Here, those flavors come together in a stew that pulls from the pantry, with fast prep and little waste. Instead of stock, this stew relies on the thick liquid from the canned chickpeas, sometimes called aquafaba. And the marinating oil in jarred sun-dried tomatoes is often delicious, augmented with herbs and vinegar. Give yours a little taste to make sure you like it, and then throw that in, too. (If you don't like it, make up the difference with regular olive oil.) The smoked almonds on top are key, adding necessary crunch and richness, so be generous with them. (If you would like to make this stew on the stovetop, just sauté the onion then add the remaining stew ingredients and simmer until the flavors are blended, about 30 minutes. If using a pressure cooker, you can use this pressure-cooker version of the recipe.)

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN STEW



Slow Cooker Chicken Stew image

This is similar to Brunswick Stew, but without the butter/lima beans and corn (which you can certainly add, if you like). :)

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Stew

Time 5h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
2 cups mushrooms, halved (I like crimini)
2 cups water
1 cup frozen small whole onions (or 3/4 cup chopped onion)
1 cup celery, sliced, 1/2 inch slices
1 1/2 cups carrots, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon paprika (make sure to use good quality paprika for full flavor!)
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground, to taste
14 1/4 ounces chicken broth
6 ounces tomato paste
1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth or 1/2 cup vegetable broth
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups frozen green peas or 2 cups frozen edamame soybeans
1 cup cubed extra firm tofu (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine first 14 ingredients in an electric slow cooker.
  • Cover with lid and cook on high setting for 4 hours or until carrot is tender.
  • Combine the water and cornstarch in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk until blended.
  • Add cornstarch mixture and frozen peas or edamame (and tofu, if using) to the slow cooker, stir well.
  • Re-cover and cook on high-heat setting an 30 additional minutes.
  • Serve with hot cooked rice.
  • Note: I don't eat much meat and prefer more vegetables, so I often add extra firm cubed tofu at the last 30 minute mark. Tasty! Also good with small new potatoes added at the beginning, which is another good way to stretch the recipe. :).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your stew a more flavorful and nutritious base. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and zucchini.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. A good stew is all about the flavor, so feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include cumin, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your stew, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
  • Cook the stew on low heat for a long time. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. A good rule of thumb is to cook the stew for at least 6-8 hours.
  • Serve the stew with a side of rice or bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker chicken stew with pepper and pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The stew is made with a variety of vegetables, chicken, and a flavorful sauce. It is cooked on low heat for a long time, which allows the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender. The stew can be served with a side of rice or bread. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. It is also a good option for a make-ahead meal. Simply cook the stew in the slow cooker in the morning and then let it cook all day. When you come home from work, dinner will be ready!
