Mediterranean Vegetable Stew image

Lots of wonderful veggies including artichoke hearts and fennel accompany the hearty potato and chickpeas in this slow cooker stew. For a thicker stew, puree up to two cups of the solids at the end of the cooking process. Recipe is from my Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker cookbook.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini, carrots, and bell peppers that were about to go bad, and this stew was the perfect way to use them up.
