Instead of roasting your vegetables, try giving them the slow-cooker treatment. Here, carrots, parsnips, and beets are poached in a spiced oil until silky and flavorful. Serve with pesto over grains or alongside roasted meats. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).

    The vegetables are good but this recipe takes an ENTIRE BOTTLE (750ml) of olive oil. After you have cooked the confit and drained the veggies, you have to figure out what to do with a crock pot full of olive oil. If you dump it down the sink, you will be calling a plumber. I think this recipe would work just as well using a little olive oil and the same spices to roast the veggies and then you don't spend $10 or more on olive oil for just one recipe and have to figure out what to do with the oil afterwards. The parsley pesto is very good and enhanced the flavor of the confit a lot. I used an extra clove of garlic and the pesto was delicious. Skip the crock pot and roast the veggies.
