I really thought I would love this, but it was horrible. Gross enough that I just threw it all away.

I could not find swiss chard, so I substituted with spinach. I honestly don't know what swiss chard even tastes like, but the spinach was delicious in the stew.

The squash is hard to peel and dice, but I have heard (though haven't tried that you can microwave it for two minutes first to make it easier to cut. It was worth the effort, however. This stew is great!

First, I would consider this more of a soup than stew. It's not a gravy like stew. The chard is somewhat overpowering for those that might not be used to chard and I would try fresh spinach next time. The flavors were good and it smelled so wonderful cooking, but would also add a little more of the pepper flakes. I cooked this on low for the seven hours and the beans were cooked through. Once you master pealing the butternut squash you've won the time battle. I pierce the squash and then microwave for 3 minutes, helps tremendously. I will try this again, w/ the modifications. I decided to puree some of the mixture and liked the thickness which resembles more of a stew.

This stew was very flavorful and filling. We topped it with grated Parmesan and served it with Asiago Cheese Bread. Amazing! My slow cooker may have taken a bit longer to cook the chick-peas, but they were soft by the time we ate the stew. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I placed the slow-cooker on low though.

I am so surprised at how tasty this vegetable stew turned out to be. Great with fresh baked bread. My husband and 2-year-old just loves it! And, the prep time is just so fast!

Love slow cooking all over again.
