Recipe Idea: South African Crockpot Bobotie

Hi. It's Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop. Since Don was going to be out of town yesterday and I had a committee meeting at my house beginning at 7:15, I decided to make a new slow-cooker recipe. This one was flavorful and is an excellent as a side dish. The texture is similar to stuffing. Try serving it with steamed veggies and a nice salad.

This recipe originally came from Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker by Robin Robertson. The recipes in this cookbook are incredibly good.
