1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Yellow Onion, Chopped
1 Large Carrot, Chopped
1 Jalapeno, Seeded And Chopped
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Tablespoon Garam Masala
1 Small Butternut Squash, Peeled, Seeded, And Chopped

1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot and jalapeno and saute until the onion becomes translucent, about six minutes. Add the minced garlic and garam masala and saute for another minute, stirring well to coat. Turn off the heat and set pan aside.
2
Place the butternut squash, drained chickpeas, diced tomatoes with juices included, dried red lentils, vegetable broth and onion mixture into your large slow cooker. Turn the heat on low and cook for about 10 hours. For a thicker stew, cook longer.
3
Season with a pinch of sea salt and fresh cracked pepper and serve with some freshly shaved Parmesan.

3. I recommend cooking this stew for at least 10 hours to make it nice and thick. The stew pictured in this post, was cooked for 12 hours, but I've made it in 8 and the flavour is still there. It's just more soup-like than stew.
