I haven’t ever been a big fan of the slow cooker. Yeah, they’re super convenient, but everything tends to taste the same after it sits simmering all day. Lucky for you, I’ve recently found a few flavorful and delicious dishes that can stand up to the heat, making me a slow cooker convert. This sweet potato curry is one of my favorites!
The dish is quick to throw together with onions, sweet potatoes, chickpeas and lots of red Thai curry. Turn up the heat, wait all day (or go to work, run errands and have a dance party!) then simply stir in some coconut milk, kale and fresh lime juice to brighten the flavor. Serve with rice and cilantro and you have an easy weeknight meal and some great lunch leftovers!
