Jamaican Stew Recipe - Vegan!

So last night we made an amazing Jamaican Stew recipe - I'm trying to cook more vegan friendly to accommodate Brooke's dietary habits, and found this awesome recipe and thought I'd share:

Jamaican Red Bean Stew
for: Slow cooker or as we call it in Northern Wisconsin:  "Da Crock Pot"

1 TB Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 Cups baby carrots - chopped
1 Sweet potato - diced
3 Scallions (green onions), chopped
1/4 Tsp Allspice
2 TB Curry Powder
1 TB Red Pepper flakes
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
2 cans dark Red Kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1-2 cups Vegetable broth
1 can Coconut Milk
Salt and Crushed Pepper to taste

Set Da Crock Pot on high for 4-6 hrs, add Olive Oil and Garlic while you prepare the other vegetables.  Add Carrots, Green Onions, Sweet Potato, Beans, Tomato, Broth, and spices.

Take the coconut milk, use 2 oz and make yourself a Pina Colada.  With the remaining coconut milk, add to Da Crock Pot and simmer for 4-6 hours.

Add Salt and Pepper to taste.

I served this over sticky white rice - don't use that cheap 2 minute rice crap.  I'm serious.  OR, since it's Jamaican, maybe try with Jerk Chicken?  Or just chicken, with a Jerk?
