Stewed vegetables in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Wash the zucchini under running water, cut in half lengthwise and chop into not too thin half rings. If you chop the zucchini too much, then due to its tender pulp, it will simply melt into the finished dish. We will immediately add all the vegetables to the multicooker bowl. There is no need to grease the bottom of the bowl with oil first, since it is usually non-stick.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the carrots. If it is very dirty, scrub the peel with a brush. Use a vegetable peeler to trim off the peel. Chop the carrots into half rings, thinner than the zucchini. This is necessary because carrots themselves are much tougher than zucchini and take longer to cook. We will equalize this time by simply cutting the carrots thinner.

3. STEP 3

   

   Wash the sweet bell pepper, remove the stem and seeds and cut into medium cubes. You can use bell peppers of any color: yellow, red or green. And also Ramiro pepper. Bell pepper is responsible for the sweetness and visual appeal of the dish. In addition, it is incredibly beneficial for digestion and the body as a whole.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into halves. If you want to chop the tomatoes more, then most likely they will not be noticeable in the finished dish. Cherry tomatoes can be replaced with regular tomatoes if they are in season for you. Otherwise, choose plum cherry tomatoes. They are generally sweet and tasty all year round.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse fresh herbs under running water and shake lightly. I'll add a nice tight bunch of cottage greens. This is parsley and dill. I'll also add lovage. It's quite specific, so it's optional. Herbs will make the taste of the dish unique. Salt the dish to taste and add a teaspoon of tomato paste. Since the vegetables themselves are juicy, there is no need to add water to this stew. Simmer the stew using the “Stew” or “Simmer” program for 15 minutes.

To prepare stewed vegetables in a slow cooker, I took the vegetables according to the list in the recipe, but put them in the slow cooker, taking into account the cooking time of each vegetable. First, I lightly fried the coarsely chopped carrots (about 5 minutes), then added the zucchini, switched the multicooker to the “stew” mode and cooked for about 7 minutes. Then I threw in the bell peppers and only at the end - the coarsely chopped tomatoes. I cooked it briefly to preserve the firm texture of the vegetables. For the same reason, at the end of cooking, I did not close the lid of the multicooker. So the vegetables did not evaporate, but remained a little hard. This cooking method suits me, because it’s summer and I want to preserve the freshness of young vegetables as much as possible. Otherwise, I would have followed the recipe more closely and simmered everything at the same time. It turned out very tasty and juicy, thanks for the recipe!

Stewed vegetables in a slow cooker are incredibly tasty and healthy. I prepared a dish according to this recipe and was very pleased. I liked the ease of preparation. Very easy, simple and fast! I used to always fry and add vegetables one at a time. And here is such a new thing for me! I took everything from the list of vegetables, only I had regular tomatoes. From the greens I took dill and parsley, the best country bunch of greens) I salted it with sea salt, and I took frozen tomato paste. I did not add water or oil as recommended by the author. Great advice, thanks to the author - cut the zucchini larger and the carrots thinner. I also added whole cloves of garlic. I cooked it in the Redmond multicooker for 15 minutes in the stew mode. Stewed vegetables in a slow cooker turned out very juicy, tender and amazingly tasty. They didn’t boil over, didn’t turn into mush, and remained firm, but not crispy. Served as a separate dish for a light dinner. Ideal cooking for me, when I had so many preparations, I chopped it up, put all the vegetables in the slow cooker, turned it on and went. A magnificent and aromatic dish is ready in 15 minutes and is in the heating mode, waiting))) I recommend everyone to make stewed vegetables in a slow cooker! Many thanks to the author!
