I love The Vegan Slow Cooker and look forward to this book. I want to make this recipe soon. I only have one slow cooker though. Could I cook the grits on the stove to speed it up?

In reply to Gerri. You sure can! The night before add in about 1/2 cup dried chickpeas. Add water to about 1/2 inch from the top of your 1 1/2 or 2 quart slow cooker and cook on low overnight. In the morning you may need to drain them, but they are ready to so in the recipe and you can use the same slow cooker with no clean up! I'm glad you and your little one like the book!

Would it be possible to start this recipe in the slow cooker with chickpeas that have only been soaked, but not cooked? I would love to be able to use my dried beans in this instead of opening up a can…

By the way, I’m really enjoying The Great Vegan Bean Book! My 9 year-old has even found a new favorite chick-burger. 🙂

The Vegan Slow Cooker is one of my favorite cookbooks! I can’t wait to try your new vegan bean cookbook. This recipe looks awesome. I like that it has no oil. Already pinned it!
