A great one-pot recipe for using up extra vegetables.... I used leeks, carrots and a potato but other vegetables (courgettes and sweet potatoes, for example) would be just as good! It's perfect for the slow cooker, but is also fine if done on the stove-top in a large pot.

Steps

1

STOVE-TOP - to make this on the stove, fry the leeks / onion gently for a few minutes in a large pot, and then add the garlic, chilli and herbs and fry for another couple of minutes. Now add all the other ingredients except the water / stock. Simmer, checking it occasionally to stir and add liquid as necessary. It is done when all the vegetables are tender - up to about 30 minutes.
2

SLOW COOKER - to make this in a slow cooker, you don't need the oil or the water/stock. I like to microwave the leeks / onions for 2 minutes first (optional - I find that, sometimes, larger chunks of onion are still a bit undercooked even after hours in the slow cooker!) Then just add all the ingredients to the slow cooker at once. DO NOT add any water. Cook on high for about 4 hours.
