No Hurry Vegetable Curry

You can see the picture Joelle put in a few weeks ago (thanks Joelle!)
(be sure to read the notes about the coconut milk in this recipe)
1 T. water -- originally called for peanut oil
2 large carrots -- sliced diagonally
1 medium yellow onion -- chopped
3 cloves garlic -- minced
2 T. curry powder (best curry powders are found in Asian markets)
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. cayenne
2 large Yukon gold potatoes -- peeled and diced
8 ounces green beans -- cut 1-inch thick
1 1/2 cups chickpeas -- rinse, if canned
15 ounces canned tomatoes -- drained
2 cups vegetable stock (fatfree)
1/2 cup green peas, frozen -- thawed
1/2 cup canned coconut milk -- *see Note
salt -- to taste -- *see Note

1. Sauté the onion in water (or oil) until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spices and stir to coat.
2. Transfer the vegetable mixture to your slow cooker & add potatoes, green beans, beans, tomatoes & soup.
3. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.
4. Just before serving add the peas & coconut milk and season with salt to taste. Adjust other seasonings if necessary.

Description:"Let the luscious fragrances of curry fill your home all day as it simmers in your slow cooker. Serve over hot cooked basmati rice with chutney on the side."

NOTES :The recipe calls for unsweetened coconut milk, but I suggest you also chose a low fat version, too. The brand I used was a bit less than half the fat as full fat, which would bring this recipe down another 3 to 4 grams of fat. You can also leave it out or use coconut extract for the taste. The rest of the fat in this recipe (2 gm) comes from the chickpeas.
To lower the salt content use salt-free canned tomatoes and rinse the beans, if canned.
