Rustic Stew

I was hesitant about this recipe at first but once I bit the bullet and tried it, it became a keeper! You CAN cook this on the stovetop but I cooked mine in my crockpot. Measurements are approximate and you should modify them to your preferences.


You Need:

one med size boneless roast- cut into small chunks (any kind will work, I used a pork roast in mine}
one green bell pepper chopped
one yellow onion chopped
1/2 pound baby carrots
1 small head of green cabbage chopped
3-4 turnips chopped
1 12oz package of mushrooms
4 ribs of celery chopped
1 "bunch" of turnip greens chopped
1 "bunch" of mustard greens chopped (you can use any other green of your choice as well)
1 cup dry lentils
Garlic & Onion powder
black pepper
basil
Paprika
water - enough to cover everything in the crockpot
**original recipe calls for salt. I don't use salt in mine.
**original recipe calls for pre-made stock. I used water in mine.

I placed everything in the crockpot EXCEPT the greens! Let that slow cook on high for 5-6 hours or longer if cooked on slow. Typically, I put this all together the night before and let it slow cook ALL night & into the mornings. When everything is nice and tender...add the greens and let them cook until they are wilted and tender but NOT soggy!
