Step 1
Start by drizzling a little olive oil on the bottom of your slow cooker. Toss in the celery, carrots, potato, onion, lettuce, beer, shallots, fennel, bell pepper, apple, parsley, peppercorns, lemon, ginger, tamari, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and bay leaf. Then, pour enough water over everything to cover the ingredients.
