Heat the olive oil in a pan and gently fry your onions, garlic and spices for a few minutes until the onions are softened.
Mix your stock cube in 600ml of warm water until dissolved.
Add all your ingredients, including chopped vegetables and fried onions, into the slow cooker and pour the stock and can of chopped tomatoes in.
Cook on high for four hours or low for six and serve with spring onions, yoghurt, and crusty bread.
Remember to freeze any portions you don’t eat this time to save them from going in the bin. A great time saver for a simple meal another day when you may be busy.
Defrost your frozen portions in the fridge and use within 24 hours, or in a microwave on 'defrost' directly before use.
