It's a perfect dinner for a chilly autumn day. Use the cooking liquid as a sauce when you're ready to serve. And if there's any pork left over, it makes delicious pulled pork sandwiches. -Jackie Sharp, Suffolk, Virginia

Tips:

  • Choose firm vegetables: Vegetables that hold their shape well, such as carrots, potatoes, and turnips, are best for slow cooking. Avoid delicate vegetables, such as leafy greens and tomatoes, which can become mushy.
  • Cut vegetables into uniform pieces: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If you are using a variety of vegetables, cut them into pieces that are similar in size.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to your dish. Some good combinations include carrots and parsnips, broccoli and cauliflower, and potatoes and sweet potatoes.
  • Add some liquid to the slow cooker: This will help to keep the vegetables moist and prevent them from burning. You can use water, broth, or even tomato juice.
  • Season the vegetables: Salt, pepper, and garlic are all good basic seasonings. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or paprika.
  • Cook the vegetables on low heat for 6-8 hours: This will allow them to cook slowly and evenly. If you are using a faster cooking time, you may need to add more liquid to the slow cooker.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked vegetables are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite veggies. They are easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. With a little planning, you can create a delicious and nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
