Sometimes it’s nice to just throw something in the slow cooker and have a nice meal waiting for you when you get home.  Here is an easy recipe that I threw together with stuff I had in my freezer and pantry.  (No pictures, sorry!)

Ingredients

• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2 TBSP olive oil
• 3 tsp garlic, grated
• 2 tsp ginger, grated
• 1 tsp cayenne powder (optional)
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 (16 oz) bag frozen chopped spinach
• 1 (16 oz) bag frozen cut okra
• 2 (15 oz) cans garbonzo beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes (WITH liquid)

Directions

• Saute onions in olive oil until soft.  Add garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper and stir until onions are well coated.
• Add peanut butter and vegetable broth and cook until a thick sauce forms.
• Transfer peanut butter mixture to slow cooker and add remaining ingredients.
• Cook on low for 8 hours.
