Veggie Stew with Mini Turkey Meatballs

This lovely little recipe came into our lives when the end of the week was approaching and I had a huge amount of leftover vegetables that I did not want to thrown out come Saturday when I went back to the grocery store.

So I decided to throw them all in my crockpot with some veggie stock, a couple of bay leaves, some parsley, basil, dill, and a little cilantro. It turned out to be great. I served it over some brown rice and with some turkey meatballs and it was a hit for sure. Plus I got to use up all the leftover items I had hanging around instead of throwing them out. Ladies and gentlemen what you have here is a peasant stew, and there isn't a dam thing wrong with it. What a great way to save money and use up what you have instead of going out and buying more fresh produce.

The items I used in my stew were ...

carrots

celery

zucchini

squash

eggplant

onion

red pepper

green pepper

2 large diced tomatoes

parsley

dill

basil

cilantro

veggie stock

a little splash of white wine

some bay leaves

salt and pepper

some dried black eyed peas

set it for 8-10 hours on low in your crock pot

and that's it !!
