Slow Cooker - The Recipe Collection
Comments
-
a good handful of black eye beans (no laughing ms thrift) - soaked overnight and boiled for 20 mins
a good handful of chickpeas - soaked overnight and boiled for 20 mins
a tin of kidney beans (drained) (dented value worked well)
a tin of baked beans in tomato sauce (value are fine)
a tin of value chopped tomatoes (I'm a convert now)
a packet of tesco mexican seasoning in an orange pack near the chicken chasseur sauces
wang it all in the slow cooker with about half a pint of water and leave on low for as long as you possibly can (I managed 24 hours)
serve with tortilla wraps, salad and tequila.
that was enough for about 12 wraps and was superbly delicious - nicely spicey and very filling.
could have made it go further still with spicey rice and things like guacemole and salsa but I was too lazy to make those

Wang it? - lol what a funny expression. Do you just soak the beans in the same pot and just in plain water in a mixing bowl and how much as the tequila?All my views are just that and do not constitute legal advice in any way, shape or form.£2.00 savers club - £20.00 saved and banked (got a £2.00 pig and not counted the rest)Joined Store Cupboard Challenge]0 -
wang is a technical cullinary term. *looks innocent*
oh yeah I just soaked the dried beans all together in plain cold tap water that i changed a couple of times and then again before bringing to the boil. i used the slow cooker to soak them although it wasnt turned on.
how much tequila? one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor ...Blah0 -
'I'd just like to point out to those of you that may say that he's too young or I should make him eat the same as us, that he decided to become vegetarian when he was 5, and he said he didn't want to eat dead animals anymore and he hasn't touched meat since..and I respect that'
I, too, became veggie at 5 (46 years ago!). No real problems (well, not for ME, but it probably caused my mum a few headaches - not a 'veggie friendly' world in 1959!) until I went to senior school and was forced to stay to school dinners. As I did not eat meat, they gave me boiled eggs EVERY DAY until I eventually caved in and ate corned beef (doubled my options!).
I ate my first salmon at 14 (one of nan's Christmas parties) and my first chicken at 16 (I was staying in someone else's home and was offered what I think was Kentucky Fried Chicken; I had been brought up to believe that it was rude to refuse to eat food that your host presented, so forced myself to eat some and - much to my amazement - really enjoyed it). From then on, I became a meat eater.If it's cheap, I'm cheerful!0 -

What a shame you were forced to have school dinners!!
But like you said it was a different world back then...there's no excuse nowadays...we as a society have so many different options....back then I don't suppose many would have eaten a curry, now its the nations favourite dish...
We do offer him meaty food to have a taste etc but he always says no thank you.... as for it being rude to "refuse" to eat food a host has presented and again forcing yourself to eat something..I think that's dreadful....no amount of "forcing " could make me eat veal..mushrooms...liver...crustaceans..and it wouldn't matter if the host was the queen...but then any host worth their salt wouldn't be so rude as to presume that their guest would like certain foods and would take the trouble(if that's what you'd call it) to find out if there was any food in particular that wasn't liked or couldn't be eaten (ie nuts)...but as you say it was different back then......"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...
until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it"

How many people actually use their slow-cookers to cook a meal overnight rather than during the day?
It crossed my mind this morning while putting a chicken in that if I'd done it overnight I would have more time during the day to prepare the various meals it will be made into and either freeze or pop in the fridge for re-heating later for dinner.
I'm pretty crap at getting myself organised enough to prepare meals for the slow-cooker first thing in the morning so doing overnight might work out better for me, not to mention taking advantage of the ecomony 7 electricity :money:"An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
