Lentil Bean and Collard Greens Stew [Clean, Vegan, GF]

Beat the heat with your slow cooker during the summer with this lentil stew! It’s clean, vegan and only takes 5 ingredients. Just throw all the ingredients into  your slow cooker and let it do all the work without heating up the house!

July Recipe Redux time! The theme for this month is all about beating the heat.

Beat the Heat with the Slow Cooker/Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker

Whether you go slow or fast, just don’t turn on the oven. Show us how to keep the kitchen cool by using one of these appliances: Slow cooker, instant pot, pressure cooker.

I can definitely relate to why people don’t want to turn on the oven during the hot summer months, particularly if you don’t have any air conditioning. Here it’s usually over 100 degrees and super humid. So, I often just want something really cool to eat (watermelon and salads I am looking at you haha).

I will eat all of it. I love it so much

However, occasionally, I’ll still want a hot meal. This is particularly the case for lunch. I am often freezing in the office, or while operating so I tend to drink a lot of hot coffee and want hot food to warm up!

I hate when it’s 100 degrees outside and 30 degrees inside…

This recipe that I’ve got for you today can be made stove top, in or the slow cooker. Slow cookers are amazing for their ability to just throw ingredients in, turn it on and leave it to do it’s magic! If you don’t have a slow cooker, or don’t use one frequently I think you should for sure invest in one!

Once you realize how much you like them, go ahead and check out the other slow cooker (or pressure cooker/rice cooker) recipes that my fellow reduxer’s came up with to beat the heat!recipe-redux-linky-logo

  9. Thanks for reminding me that the crockpot is a good thing to use in the summer I always think of it for fall and winter meals! Hope you’re staying cool in that hot and humid weather you have.
