Here’s a meal for anyone who was worried about giving up the taste and texture of meat – a meatless version of a classic favourite.
Tikka’s Simple ‘n’ Sublime Slow Cooker Stew by Tikka S.
Prep: 5 minutes Cook time: 5 – 8 hours
Ingredients:
• 1 700 ml jar of tomato sauce (I love PC Organics Primavera)
• 1/2 cup of brown rice, uncooked
• 2 Tofurkey sausages, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable soup mix or seasoning blend
• 8 sundried tomatoes, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sweetener – sugar cane, agave nectar, brown rice syrup – whichever you prefer
Directions:
Pour tomato sauce into slow cooker and add then fill the jar with water twice, adding to cooker. Add the remaining ingredients to slow cooker, along with any additional spices you may desire – a clove of chopped garlic or a teaspoon of dried basil, perhaps. Set slow cooker for 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low and walk away! Come home to a luscious slow cooked stew and enjoy!
*If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can simmer this stew in a big pot for a couple of hours – but you can’t leave the house!
Slow cookers are an invaluable tool for vegetarian meal preparation.
