Instructions

  1. Put soaked beans, water, vegetable stock, diced tomatoes with liquid, tomato paste, tamari, and bulgur into slow cooker.  In a large skillet, saute the onion, carrot, celery, bell peppers, and garlic in 1-2 tablespoons olive oil for about 3-5 minutes.  Add the spices, stir to combine, and allow to cook another minute or two.  Add the vegetable mixture to the slow cooker.  Cook on high for 5 hours.

Notes

Soaking Beans:  To soak your beans, sort and rinse your beans and then place them in a large pot and cover with 6-8 cups of water.  Soak overnight, covered, at least 8 hours, then drain and rinse.  You can also use the “quick soak” method:  Sort and rinse your beans and place them in a large pot and cover with 6-8 cups of water.  Bring water to a boil and allow to boil for 2 full minutes.  Turn off the heat, cover, and allow to soak 1-2 hours.  Drain and rinse.
