Vegetarian slow cooking is simply a case of preparing the vegetables and adding what ever flavours or sauces you desire, from curries to Italian tomato sauces, all the family favourite meals can be made into vegetarian alternatives that taste fantastic.
If you do not have a slow cooker, you can still experiment with vegetarian slow cooking, by simply cooking at low temperatures for longer, either in saucepans on the hob, or in ceramic dishes in the oven, this method means you will need to be in the house, certainly for the hob cooking, but still makes for an easier hassle free meal.
Which method of vegetarian slow cooking you choose will depend on what meal you are preparing, and there are different meat substitutes available to keep the meals familiar. For example Soya can be used in place of minced beef in spaghetti bolognaise and prepared in a slow cooker, most children don t even notice the swap!
