I’m sure like many of you, my slow cooker has been getting a work out these past few months.  I thought I’d share a quick easy recipe (Martha Stewart inspired – thanks Martha!) that my family loves (adults and kids). This recipe also happens to contain some great winter herbs and spices like turmeric, garlic and ginger to help keep you healthy and warm in these cooler months. I like to serve this with cauliflower rice or basmati rice, and find that this recipe makes a large amount for my family of 4, which is great as there is always leftovers for lunch the next day.

 

 Give it a go – would love to hear what you think.
