hourIngredients
30g butter or 2 Tbsp olive oil
700g pumpkin, cut into pieces peeled
700g kumara, peeled quartered
3 brown onions, sliced
2 tsp chicken stock powder
2 tsp curry powder approx.
2 litres of water

Directions
- Heat a fry pan over medium heat with a knob of butter or olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook until caramelised.
- Place the onions, pumpkin, kumara, curry powder chicken stock and water into the slow cooker and cook on low for approx. 2 hours (until pumpkin cooked) or just simmer on a stove top for 60 mins.
