View recipe: Ginger Curry Vegan (or chicken!) Chickpea Slow Cooker Stew with Quinoa and Sprouted RiceThis curry is so good for you. Fresh ginger and garlic and onions and magic spices… Great for when everyone in the house (but me! so far.) has a head cold. Also good when November comes 2 months early to Seattle. I usually make this without chicken, but I roasted a chicken last night, and…
