Slow-Cooked Black Bean and Broccoli Stew
Finding good vegetarian slow cooker recipes canbe challenging, which is what inspired this creation. Black beans tend torequire a longer cooking time than most beans, so they’re perfectly suited forslow cooking. The blend of herbs and spices gives this stew a Moroccan feel andcreates a heavenly aroma that will welcome you home after a long day of work.If you want another shortcut, you can look for a North African spice blendcalled ras el hanout. It has many of the same anti-inflammatory spices calledfor here (plus a few extras!). I usually make some red rice or quinoa forserving during the stew’s last half hour of cooking.
Ingrediënten

Instructies

- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

- Phytonutrients in broccoli have been found to suppress the inflammatory signaling system and may also decrease allergic responses that lead to inflammation.
