- 2 1/2 cups chopped Idaho® potatoes
- 2 cups water or vegetable broth
- 1 1/2 cups chopped butternut squash
- 1 (15.5 ounce) can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon dry ground ginger)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic

Biscuit Ingredients:

- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds

Directions:
- Spray your 4 to 5-quart slow cooker with oil to aid in clean up.

- Note: If your slow cooker runs hot or boils on low, add an additional ½ cup of liquid.
- 15 minutes before serving preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix the soy milk and apple cider vinegar and set aside so it will curdle. Note: this will only work with soy milk because of its protein content.
- Mix 1 2/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour, cumin seeds, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
- Add the avocado oil to the soy milk mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix well.
- If the dough is too sticky add the additional 1/3 cup whole wheat flour.
- Flour a cutting board and transfer the dough to it. Roll or pat into a round of about 1/2-inch thickness.
- Use small cookie cutter or cut into 1-inch squares.
- Roll up the excess dough and repeat until all the dough is used.
- 15 minutes before serving stir the stew, taste and add additional salt and spices as needed.
- Then arrange the uncooked biscuits on top of the stew in the slow cooker, and remove the crock.
