Persian Okra Stew

This Persian Okra Stew ties together earthy middle-eastern flavors with hearty okra pods and chunky vegetables. Throw all the ingredients in a slow cooker and voila! A healthy, satisfying meal with plenty of leftovers. If a non-vegan version is desired, sub ground turkey for veggie crumbles (you may wish to brown the meat in the slow cooker prior to adding remaining ingredients).
