Drescription
Potatoes and beans make this tomato-based crock-pot vegetable stew super-hearty. You could also add briefly sautéed chunks of zucchini or fresh corn kernels just before serving, or add another can of cannellini beans for more substance. A dollop of pesto on top is also super-delicious. Adding homemade garlic croutons is an easy way to elevate this healthy dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole plum tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can whole plum tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
- 1 ½ cups frozen cut italian (romano) beans (see tip)
- 12 ounces baby yellow potatoes
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, plus more for serving
- 1 cup low-sodium no-chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- shaved parmesan cheese for garnish
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
- 3 cups cubed (1-inch) crusty whole-grain bread
Directions
- Place tomatoes and their juice in a 4- to 7-quart slow cooker and crush them with your hands or a potato masher. Add cannellini beans, frozen beans, potatoes, onion, oregano, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Stir in broth and cover. Cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours.
- To prepare croutons: About 30 minutes before serving, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mash chopped garlic into a paste with a fork or the side of a chef's knife. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons oil and Italian seasoning. Add bread and toss to coat. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Just before serving, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring, until just golden, about 1 minute. Stir the garlic and oil into the slow cooker. Divide the stew among 6 bowls and top with the croutons. Serve with more crushed red pepper and Parmesan, if desired.
