    1. Switch slow cooker to low. Layer vegetables on bottom, with the meat resting on top. Add tomatoes, stock and spices. Cover and cook for 4 hours on high, or 7 hours on low.
    2. Remove meat and rest, covered, on carving board. Gently transfer vegetables to serving platter and cover with tin foil to keep warm.
    3. Put remaining juices in a small saucepan and heat over a high heat for 5-10 minutes to reduce slightly. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.
    4. Cut meat and serve with vegetables and sauce.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check stock and ground coriander are gluten free.

    HFG tip

    Some canned tomatoes contain more liquid than other brands, so if you see a lot of tomato juice, reduce the stock quantity by 1/4 cup.

    If you cook this recipe on low heat, expect the vegetables to be mushier than with the high heat option. But either way, they will be much softer than if oven roasted.

    If you’re using parsnips, small ones are sweeter than the older, stringy ones.

    NOTE: If you have a nut allergy and are using packaged goods in recipes, please check the allergen warning on the packet regarding nuts.
