Slow-Cooker Chickpea-Lentil Stew with Rice

Here is a simple meal to make.  A little bit of prep then your slow cooker does the rest...8-10 hours later it is finished.  It has a great spicy sweet taste to it.



Ingredients:
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
1 medium yellow onion - chopped
3 medium chile peppers - chopped
4 cloves garlic - chopped
2 tsp garam masala
2-15oz garbanzo beans - drained and rinsed (or you can use dried beans, just be sure to soak them overnight)
1/2 cup dried lentils
1-28oz can diced tomatoes
2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup pitted black olives (we didn't have any olives in the pantry this week...bummer)
1/2 cup coconut milk

Directions:
*Heat oil
*Saute onions about 8 minutes until tender
*add peppers, garlic, spice.  Cook until soften, about 2-3 more minutes
*add everything to the slow cooker (EXCEPT the coconut milk)
*Cook on low for 8-10 hours
*Add Coconut milk 15 minutes before serving
*Serve over Rice (we used long grain brown rice)

Enjoy!
