Fast Cooking in the Slow Cooker

I realized we weren't going grocery shopping today and I was getting hungry for supper. I poked around to see what ingredients we had on hand in the pantry and the freezer. I took out a pound bag of lentils, a big bag of frozen corn niblets, a large can of crushed tomatoes, and a few pounds of frozen ground pork. I put everything in the slow cooker on high uncovered with some water added to the mix for the lentils to absorb. I added Adobo, three freshly sliced cloves of garlic, two onions chopped, a few teaspoons of ground cumin, kosher salt, and red wine. It simmered for twenty to thirty minutes while I cleaned up the kitchen. It was delicious. A cheerful yellow chili eaten in the sunshine.
