Slow Cooker Cauliflower Lentil Curry

Slow Cooker Cauliflower Lentil Curry

This Slow Cooker Cauliflower Lentil Curry is perfect if you’re short on time to make dinner. Simply toss everything into the slow cooker and let the ingredients simmer together into this delicious, creamy curry. We recommend using the low-fat coconut milk, and if you don’t have lentils around you can substitute them for chickpeas.

Ingredients

Serves: 4-5 Time: 4-8 Hours

Slow Cooker Cauliflower Lentil Curry

  • 1/2 head of cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 cup red or yellow lentils
  • 13.5 oz (1 can) low-fat coconut milk*
  • 1 Tbs red curry paste
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small bell pepper, diced
  • 3 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz (1 small can) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 Tbs curry paste
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • Optional toppings: Minced cilantro, lime juice, chili flakes, chopped peanuts, or cashews

*Light coconut milk is a low-fat alternative. You may also substitute for unsweetened, unflavored soy or nut milk, cow’s milk (for non-vegan), or you may dilute regular coconut milk with water (i.e. 2/3 cup coconut milk + 1/3 cup water for a recipe that calls for 1 cup)

Directions

  1. Prepare your vegetables and add them to the crockpot or slow cooker.
  2. Then, add in the lentils, coconut milk, curry paste, lime juice, and vegetable broth or water.
  3. Using a wooden spoon, mix in the seasonings.
  4. If you’re setting your cooker to low heat, allow it to cook for 7-8 hours, but if you’re cooking on high, allow it to cook for 4-6 hours. If possible, you can stir it about halfway through.
  5. Once it is done cooking, taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
  6. Serve with rice or naan bread and optional toppings and enjoy!

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Homemade Strawberry Jam

Homemade Strawberry Jam

Homemade Strawberry Jam that doesn’t require anything special out of three simple ingredients, a whisk, and optionally, a kitchen thermometer. Since berries have a naturally occurring pectin, we don’t have to worry about thickening agents. Although, the slower and lower temperature you cook your jam, the better your results are. Spread this jam on toast, an English muffin, or pair it with pancakes.

Ingredients

Homemade Strawberry Jam

  • 1 lb. strawberries, leaves and core removed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions

  1. Prepare your strawberries. You can hull out the center by using a straw, or chopping the strawberries down the center and removing the stem and its core.
  2. In a sauce pan, add the strawberries and set the heat to medium high. Add in the sugar and stir frequently, bringing the mixture to a boil.
  3. Once boiling, add in the lemon juice and reduce heat to medium/medium-low. Cook for 15-25 minutes or until the mixture reaches 220ºF.
  4. When the jam is done, add to clean glass jars and seal tightly with a lid. Immediately add to the refrigerator and allow it to cool overnight.
  5. Serve and enjoy.

Store your jam in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.

  5. Add the tomato sauce, seasoning, and meatballs to the pan. Stir well.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
  7. Strain your pasta from the water.
