Crockpot Tofu Red Curry

This simple curry from my book The Super Easy Vegan Slow Cooker Cookbook is comforting and gently spiced. The sweet, mild flavors of this dish with its creamy coconut milk sauce make it a great “beginner’s curry.” If you’re not sure you love curry, give this one a try.

Ingredient Variation: Using baby carrots cuts down on prep time, but if you don’t have them, just use peeled, chopped regular carrots.
