When I first made this stew, I was surprised by how effortlessly the flavors meld together in the crockpot. I love to toss in whatever vegetables I have on hand, from sweet potatoes to green beans, and watch them transform into a comforting meal. The addition of coconut milk adds a depth of flavor that elevates the dish without overwhelming it.

One helpful tip I learned is to sauté the onions and garlic before adding them to the slow cooker. This simple step enhances their sweetness and creates a richer base for the stew. By the time it's ready, the aroma fills my kitchen, making it hard to wait until dinner!
