In reply to Janel barthe. 1 1/2 to 3 quart works with all the recipes in Vegan Slow Cooking for 2.

I want to get a smaller slow cooker to fix vegan meals for husband and me. Ordering your book, what size pot should I get?

In reply to Lauryn. You should be able to use either, though hulled barley is my favorite.

Hi there,

Should you use pearl or hulled barley?

In reply to jaime. It should be fine to eat, though I'd add a little more liquid to make sure it doesn't dry out.

if it cooks 10 hours would that be terrible?

In reply to Karen. If you have a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker you may need to triple the recipes and/or add additional liquid. I usually add canned beans in the morning with the other ingredients, but if you want them to not get soft adding 1 hour before servings would work if the beans are canned and at room temperature.

Kathy – I have a larger slow cooker. Would this recipe turn out well if I doubled it and cooked it in the larger pot?

Also, if I wanted to add beans, how would that work? If they were canned, should I just add them during the last hour of cooking?

Thanks! This sounds delicious! I plan on making it tomorrow!

Thanks Kathy! I think I’ll make this for tonight’s dinner – I actually have all the ingredients! Thanks for sharing it.

In reply to Kate. I think golden beets would be awesome in this. You should know I'm a huge beet fan, so I love them in everything!
