- In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add onion and carrots and cook, stirring, until carrots are softened, about 7 minutes. Add garlic, gingerroot, turmeric, salt, peppercorns and cinnamon stick and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and toss until coated. Add tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil. Transfer to slow cooker stoneware.
- Add squash and chickpeas and stir well. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4 hours, until vegetables are tender.
- In a small bowl, combine honey and lemon juice. Add to slow cooker and stir well. To serve, sprinkle with currants, if using. Serves 6.
- TIP: I prefer a strong gingery flavor in this dish. If you’re ginger-averse, reduce the amount.

Oh, my goodness...this was so absolutely fantastic! I made this today for dinner tonight, followed the directions and ingredients exactly (except the currants), and it was simply heavenly! My kids even ate without complaint. This will make an excellent potluck dish too. The only change I'll make for the next time is to add more mushrooms, and double the recipe. We barely had enough left overs for our lunches tomorrow! I'm really surprised this hasn't gotten many more reviews. People are really missing out!
