How to Prepare Slow Cooker Winter Squash Quinoa Curry [Vegan, Grain-Free]

  1. Cube your squash, dice your onions, chop your tomatoes, rinse your quinoa, measure out your spices, and throw it all into a slow cooker.
  2. Add your vegetable broth, give everything a stir, put a lid on your slow cooker and set it to medium heat. At this point you can forget about it for 6 hours.
  3. After 6 hours, turn the slow cooker heat down to "keep warm" and stir in 1 cup of coconut milk. At this point dinner is ready to be served. Let it be noted, never, ever put coconut milk into a slow cooker until you are ready to serve. It will separate, and curdle if it reaches too high of a heat.
  4. To serve, dish into a favorite bowl, spritz with a wedge of fresh lemon, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of unsweetened shredded coconut.
