In a crock pot, add all the ingredients in the listed order for the exception of the green onions.
Turn the crock pot on low and allow the stew to cook for 8 hours. Halfway through the cook time, stir the ingredients to evenly season the ingredients.
Serve over white rice and top with green onions, if using.
Notes
For a quicker cook time, increase the crock pot temperature to high and cook for 4 hours.
