[crockpot recipe] Farmhouse Fricassee ~ vegan

[Guest guest]

Here is another crockpot dinner that i have tried and

enjoyed. i added my notes and additions to the original

recipe like i did yesterday.

 

Farmhouse Fricassee

 

2 Tbs. olive oil

4 shallots, quartered

3 cloves garlic, minced [my addition]

1/2 cup dry white wine

* 12 oz. seitan or tempeh, cut into 1/2 inch slices *

8 oz. baby carrots, halved lengthwise

8 oz. small red potatoes, halved

8 oz. green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces

**1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, drained **

1 1/2 cups vegetable stock [ i use no-chicken broth]

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbs. minced fresh parsley leaves

 

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and saute the

shallots and garlic over medium-high heat until they

begin to soften. Add the wine and continue to cook for

another minute. Transfer this to the slow-cooker.

If you chose seitan or tempeh, use the remaining oil to

brown a bit in a pan before adding it to the slow-cooker.

i just added the remaining oil, can of beans, broth and

veggies to the crock pot, stirred to combine, and then

covered and cooked on low for about 6 to 8 hours.

i added the salt and pepper and the parsley a few minutes

before serving.

Yield: 4 servings

 

*i used a can of garbanzo beans instead, but you can use

cubed veggie burgers or whatever you wish.

 

** i did NOT drain mine; i like the flavor and additional sauce it adds.
