Crock Pot Baked Beets in Warm Raspberry Vinaigrette

Mon, 06 Nov 2006 19:07:44 -0500

This is copied from "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook" and it is made in 2 parts. I haven't tried it yet. You could add butter, salt and pepper to the crock baked beets if you like and not make the viniagrette. It seems like an easy way to "bake" beets. *You need foil to wrap the beets. -- posted by Oolala

Vegan Mushroom Cholent in the Crock Pot

Tue, 05 Dec 2006 16:16:41 -0500

This is one I have been looking at for a long time. I haven't tried it yet but wanted to post it here for safe keeping and to allow others to try. From "125 Best Vegetarian Slow Cooker Recipes." I'd probably leave out the celery as I'm not a fan. The time to make does not include overnight soaking. Also, feel free to use a different soaking method, just make sure the beans are soaked and ready to go when you put this in the crockpot. -- posted by ladypit

Spiced Red Pears in Wine (Crock Pot)

Tue, 05 Dec 2006 16:18:18 -0500

This is one I'm considering for the holidays. It is originally from "125 Best Vegetarian Crock pot Recipes). The original says this is best in a 3 1/2 quart crock pot because that allows the pears to be submerged. This is served cold so it needs time to chill. Depending on the size of your pears you might need more wine. -- posted by ladypit

Easy Crock Pot Apple Butter

Wed, 06 Dec 2006 14:58:20 -0500

This is the first recipe I ever used to can apple butter. Recipe starts out with applesauce, great for any time of year. It was my first time canning and it turned out great! This would make great Christmas gifts. I gave a lot of mine away earlier this year and everybody loved it. Their only complaint: put it into bigger jars! This recipe make a dark, spicy, and sweet apple butter. Makes a great sandwich with PB. Note: 3 quarts is equal to 12 cups or 96 ounces applesauce. -- posted by Watkinslady30

Pantry Clearing Chili Bean Soup

Wed, 27 Dec 2006 16:45:05 -0500

December 26 and the last thing I want to see as another store. Desparation leads to inspiration and this was the result. A soupy chili with a complex flavor that is part spicy and smokey with slightly sweet undertones from the pineapple. Since this was a pantry clearing experiment, you should feel free to do the same. Replace the pink beans with kidney beans or use red peppers instead of green ones. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Adirondack Soup

Thu, 28 Dec 2006 16:51:58 -0500

From the cookbook "Fix it and Forget It Lightly". The cookbook said it took 6 hours on low, but my carrots and celery were still quite raw after six hours. This makes a HUGE amount of soup -- my largest crockpot was filled to the brim. -- posted by wife2abadge

Slow Cooker Mixed Yellow Dal

Sat, 30 Dec 2006 21:54:06 -0500

This recipe was inspired by a Trevti Dal --"three dals" -- recipe from my favorite Indian cookbook author Tarla Dalal. My recipe is actually four different types of dal but can be adjusted to accommodate pretty any type of split or quick-cooking legume. Preparing this in a slow cooker results in an amazingly creamy and flavorful dal that can be eaten on its own as a soup, or enjoyed with its more traditional accompaniments of rotis and rice. -- posted by Mrs Joshi

Homemade Stock

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 23:04:27 -0500

Saving all the odds and ends in the freezer while doing your daily cooking will give you an endless supply of stocks to cook with. You will not waste even those parts of the vegetables or meat that you paid for (usually by the pound), and will never again need to buy canned stocks. This will save you money and allows you to control the contents of your stocks. All the vegetables I have listed in the ingredients list are just ideas of things to save in your bag. You do not need each and every one of them to make a stock. Everything is optional. When you peel carrots or anything else, wash them first. It is rather difficult to wash peelings. I do not recommend strong flavored herbs like cilantro or vegetables that could color your stock strangely like beets. Note: In order for the recipe to post, I had to include measurements, but you don't need measurements. Just use what you have saved in your bags using more or less of whatever is there. -- posted by Karen From Colorado

Winter Squash, Chickpea & Red Lentil Stew

Sat, 17 Mar 2007 00:06:54 -0400

Inspired by the flavors of North Africa, this vegetarian stew replaces the tagine with the crock pot. The combination of saffron, ginger and cinnamon give of a wonderful aroma and flavor. It would tempting to substitute canned chickpeas here but you will get a different result. In this dish the chickpeas while tender have greater firmness than the canned type. Time saving tip: Prepare the ingredients the night before, placing the cubed squash, carrots, onions, tomato paste, garlic and ginger in one sealable bag or covered container, the lentils and dried spices in another. In the morning add the contents of both bags/containers, the soaked chickpeas and broth to your crock pot, turn it on and go. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Quinoa and Barley Breakfast Porridge

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:04:46 -0400

Here is a yummy alternative to oatmeal in the morning. Very healthy whole grains, too. "Super foods" some people call them. Takes a little while to make it, but very yummy. Add your own spices, sweeteners and dried fruit, to your taste. This recipe can be easily halved if you use a small saucepan. Supposedly you can cook in a small crockpot overnight, but I've personally only ever tried this on the stovetop. -- posted by MathMom.calif

Muesli in a Slow Cooker / Crock Pot

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 21:07:40 -0400

Crunchy muesli that the whole family will adore. Beats any store bought Muesli hands down and much cheaper too. PS: If you enjoy 'Fast Food' and lots of sweet things, please don't try this recipe. It is quite possibly a recipe that is not designed to appeal to an American palate. It is more of a low fat/low sugar version, a breakfast that will keep you going for hours without the hit of a low blood sugar levels within a short period of time. I find that when I have this for breakfast, I'm not hungry again until 1 - 2 pm. Enjoy!! -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

this is my chili recipe. it won the "people's choice" award last year at a superbowl party. it is a little spicy - but not too hot to enjoy. add cooked ground meat if you like, but i like this without. it is also nice to top it with chopped fresh jalapeno peppers. also - i use all organic ingredients. if you live near a trader joe's market, they sell all of these ingredients in organics for less money than the regular items cost at most grocery stores. -- posted by adams.wifey

Cholent D'or

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:13:14 -0500

This cholent is a very special veggie cholent that I have spent the past 9 months or so trying to perfect. Cholent was always something that I looked forward to having, but when I went vegetarian, I found it extremely hard to differentiate between "veggie cholent" and just another variety of bean/barley stew. Something was missing from all of those recipes, and I would like to say that I have finally found an acceptable replacement. Also good for those who just want to try something new. Enjoy! Notes: One thing about this cholent that is absolutely necessary is the brown sugar in the sauce. Please don't omit it! It adds a unique savouriness to the final dish that really helps this taste more like a real cholent. If you try to avoid sugar in recipes, try substituting agave nectar (very scant 1/4 cup) or if veganism is not a concern, substitute honey. -- posted by .ryan.

Crock Pot Oatmeal With Dried Fruit

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 18:07:01 -0400

Steel cut oats and your favourite dried fruits make for a delicious breakfast that's ready and waiting for you when you roll into the kitchen for breakfast. There's absolutely no need to add any sugar to the oatmeal, as the sugars in the fruit take care of that for you. Use any combination of fruit you have on hand; I've used apples, prunes, dates, apricots, cranberries, raisins, cranberries, strawberries, and pineapple and all are great but my favourites are apple/raisin, and dates all by themselves. From the manual that came with a Cuisinart slow cooker. -- posted by KDub

Frijoles Negros- Crock Pot Mexican Black Beans

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:59:24 -0400

At last I have achieved the perfect flavour of traditional black beans with the crock pot. It takes long but it is because of the crock pot; preparation really takes you few minutes of your time. Waiting is worth it and freezing some is an excellent way to enjoy this versatile dish any day. After you have cooked them you can garnish them with diced tomatoes, fresh onion, oregano and some olive oil. If served cold it is great to add some fresh finely chopped jalapeños and some drops of lemon juice. Still hot, you can separate the juice from the beans and use it for cooking rice or just drinking it in a cup with diced avocado and sour cream. There are many ways you can enjoy black beans, this is just the starting point. Buen Provecho! -- posted by soleta

This is a semi-homade version inspired by the other sloppy joe lentil recipes here (thanks, guys!). This is for the 5-6 qt. slow cooker too. Hubby tried it and liked even though he's a carnivore. I made this one afternoon and froze half of the batch for another time. With a 6 qt. slow cooker, you can probably double the recipe easily (I ended up adding extra lentils to the recipe because I used too much water at first...ended up with 1.5lb. lentils and I still had plenty of room in my crock pot). -- posted by Honeywine

Vegetarian Slow Cooker Split Pea Soup

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:27:00 -0400

Got this recipe online a couple years ago. I've tweaked it a little bit and will probably continue to experiment by throwing other vegetables in. It's a great soup for a cold day when I know I won't have time to cook dinner. I usually make a batch and freeze what we don't eat. It tastes the same when reheated after the freezer, but the texture does change slightly. Lasts a few days in the fridge as well. -- posted by whifflellama

Split Pea and Parsnip Soup - Crock-Pot

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 02:06:29 -0500

The parsnips add a creamy sweetness that complements the flavor of the split peas. If parsnips are unavailable, use carrots instead. Because the peas have a tendency to settle on the bottom of the pot, a quick stir midway through the cooking process is helpful. The Liquid Smoke adds a "bacony" flavor to the soup and is available in most supermarkets. While this is intended to be vegetarian, from Fresh From the Vegetarian Slow Cooker, I also made this with a ham bone instead of the liquid smoke and was delicious. -- posted by ~Jen~

Add more water or stock if you wish to have a thinner soup. Pearl barley is the variety most commonly sold in supermarkets. Natural food stores offer hulled barley, which is slightly less refined and cooks in about the same amount of time. -- posted by Chef #1109421

Vegan Red Beans and Rice

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 11:49:27 -0500

I'm a Michigan native, and don't do a lot of creole cooking, but I enjoy french creole food quite a bit. I developed this vegan version of the classic New Orleans recipe for my fiancee. It is a healthier version of the original that nobody will object to. You can add ham or sausage for a more traditional take. Traditionally this dish was made for Monday supper with the left over ham bone from Sunday. It could simmer away on the back of the stove while folks were buisy with the Monday laundry. -- posted by Chef #1180651

Vegetarian Paella

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 02:12:43 -0400

This recipe is full of flavour and a real summer-time dish with all the bright colours and fresh taste of the peppers and artichokes, whilst the tomatoes give it a rich background. A really adaptable recipe, I added saffron to the original to give it that extra flavour. -- posted by Chef #1193604

Veggie Chili

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:04:22 -0400

This is a recipe in development. I've made it for years without a recipe, but now I'd like to start perfecting it. This last time was the first I've used dried beans, but because we know that it takes more energy and fossil fuels to ship canned beans, my husband and I are learning how. In order to capture what we ACTUALLY did in order to perfect the recipe, I'm including the days between initially boiling them and cooking the chili... this was necessity, and I'll edit the recipe when I make it next. This is a spicy, vegetarian chili that freezes VERY well. I like to serve it with cornbread or spoonbread and some cheese. -- posted by Kendra PeloJoaquin

Slow-Cooker Vegan Chili

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:28:52 -0400

This is one of my own recipes, and one that I'm particularly proud of. It's not very spicy, so you can alter the spices as you like. This is great served with corn bread, and it freezes really well. I'm the only vegetarian in the family, but everyone else loves it! -- posted by iPlayFlonkerton

Vegetarian Chilli

My Mum used to make me a really yummy vegetarian chilli, years ago. She no longer has the recipe, so this is my attempt to recreate it! It's in the crockpot at the moment, and I will probably have many versions of it before I'm happy, but here is version 1!! -- posted by Sara 76

Crock-Pot Vegetarian Chili

This originally called for 2 cans of black beans, but my kids aren't huge fans of black beans so I changed it for them. You can assemble this in advance and put it in the crock stoneware in the fridge overnight. -- posted by wife2abadge

Rice Cooker Chocolate Cake

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:43:23 -0400

This dark, rich, chocolate cake is perfect with coffee on a lazy afternoon or as a special treat for a birthday cake. It has no eggs or milk so is ok for Vegans. Top it with your favourite frosting, or just sprinkle powdered sugar on it to 'finish' it for the table.I love the recipe as I alway seem to be out of milk and eggs, so this recipe suits my house! I do not have an oven so need something that works in rice cooker. Rice Cookers vary but this recipe seems to work just fine in most. Set the cooker for slow cook if you have that function. -- posted by circle3

Vegan Baked Beans a La Crock Pot

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:58:34 -0500

At the time I'm posting this there are two other vegan baked bean recipes on the Zaar, both look really good. I didn't find one for the crock pot however, using dried beans and no tomatoes.....so hopefully this fits that bill for someone else out there! I found the recipe online - http://www.beanbible.com. There are only a few things I tweaked, one being Bakon yeast. Unfortunately not something I'm at all familiar with or have ever seen in the stores, but I found out a little more about it and replaced it with some nutritional yeast & liquid smoke. Adjust the heat as you wish. NOTE: Soak the beans ahead of time (night before). The cooking time doesn't reflect the overnight soaking of the beans, but it does reflect the crock pot cooking time if set to low. Hope you enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

Butternut Squash and Potatoes With Rosemary

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:15:17 -0500

From the Italian Slow Cooker by Michele Scicolone. It's wonderful to be able to use the slow cooker to make side dishes, especially on those occasions when the oven is engaged by the main event. You cannot go wrong with butternut squash, potatoes and rosemary. While this appears in an Italian cookbook, the ingreidets are very familiar to North Americans, as well. -- posted by duonyte

Vegetarian (Or Vegan) Black Bean Chili

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:23:34 -0500

I cut this recipe out of the Philadelphia Inquirer years ago and have adjusted it to suit my tastes. I've made this often enough that I don't measure the spices but you should adjust them to your desired level of spiciness. My new favorite way to eat this chili is over baked sweet potatoes, topped with sour cream and Frank's Red Hot Sauce. -- posted by Chef #673508
