Hello there, Slow Cookerers!!

Happy Monday to you all!

Guess what -- crockpot food is not all heavy and gloppy and meat-based.

You ABSOLUTELY can eat lighter fare --

remember, what is awesome about this marvelous machine is that whatever you put in it is what you get.

If you don't want too much oil, don't use it. If you are allergic to a certain ingredient or are steering clear -- that is A-OKAY.

You get to decide, which is what is so fun about being a grown-up!!
:-)

So, without further ado -- here are 84 Vegetarian crockpot recipes for you. :-)

(scroll down for a really tasty Ratatouille recipe!!)

And here is a Ratatouille Recipe!!

Before I saw the Disney Ratatouille movie, I really didn't know what this dish was all about. It's essentially a vegetable stew.

This does not have rats in it.

Nor did little rats come out of the woodwork to sit on my shoulder while I was chopping the vegetables.

My children were sorely disappointed.

Slow Cooker Ratatouille

serves 8ish

1 eggplant

1 zucchini

1 yellow summer squash (same sized as the zucchini)

1 can peeled whole tomatoes (drained)

1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes (and juice)
OR: 3 cups diced fresh tomatoes

1 yellow onion, peeled and cut in chunks

1 yellow bell pepper

1 orange bell pepper

3 cloves minced garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 cup water or white wine

The Directions.

Chop all of your vegetables into mouth-sized chunks.

I didn't peel anything, except for the onion. Some people really can't stand eggplant peel, but I seem to like it. ;-)

Layer into your crockpot, cover with the spices, oil, and water.

Stir gingerly to combine.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

The ratatouille is done when the vegetables reach desired tenderness and the flavors have mingled.

This will create more liquid on it's own, but it isn't overly soupy.

The Verdict.

I liked this better than I thought I would.

The vegetables have a great flavor and they were nicely cooked.

This is hearty enough to have as a full, low-calorie meal, or it can be served as a side dish.

Enjoy!! Happy Slow Cooking!!
