Slow Cooker - The Recipe Collection

Just to let you all know, Duck is lovely in the slow cooker. Bunged an orange cut in 2 up it's bum, poured in some boiling water and coated the top with sea salt. !!!!!!/cut the skin as normal because there's an awful lot of fat in a duck, (if you've never cooked one) and this helps it drain out. Then take fat off stock and you've a lovely gravy base.

Took about 5 - 5 1/2 hours in the MR 6.5L, 45 mins on high, rest on low.

Told DS1 it was beef and he loved it. Asked him if he'd ever eat duck and he said 'yuk, never'

We need a devil mask smiley so we can say

Wicked!

Just had the following sausage and bean casserole for tea, it was really good. Kids loved it.

6 sausages (used Lidl 76% pork ones cut in half) so 12 pieces
2 peppers, red or yellow, sliced up
1 courgette sliced up
1 big onion roughly chopped up
1 can of kidney beans, drained. (recipe said butterbeans)
250gs of cherry tomatoes, whizzed through processor (recipe said passata)
1 pint of veg stock
Little bit of dried rosemary
Salt and pepper

Put the peppers, onion, courgettes, tomatoes and stock in a pan. Bring to the boil and cook for five minutes, then throw into slow cooker.

Fry the sausages in the olive oil for five minutes or so till browned all over. Throw into crockpot.

Add in some rosemary, salt and pepper and a bit of mixed herbs and the beans. Cook it on high for five hours and then thicken up with some cornflour. There was a lot of sauce so I cooked up a lot of spuds to go with it. Really good. The above was enough for three and my kids have big appetites and plenty potatoes.

The recipe says the following (serves 4)

16 sausages
2 onions
4 x 410g cans of butter beans drained and rinsed
4 red or yellow peppers sliced
4 courgettes
2 pints of passata
1 pint of veg stock
2 bay leaves
2 rosemary sprigs
basil leaves for garnish
olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper

Five hours on high

If I made that much I'd be eating it for Christmas dinner.

You can't possibly use a slow cooker while while you're at home!!!!!!!!

It started smelling delicious about two hours ago.

I'm hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And there's STILL three hours to go!

Sob!

I know exactly how you feel!!!!!



I've currently got a chicken cooking to make some freezer meals (plus tea tonight) and I'm sooooo tempted to go and pull a leg off it and scoff it all now

What makes it even worse is there's another chicken to go in straight after it, then several more hours of making stock/soup after that ones cooked :eek:


The smell of chicken is gonna drive me insane!!!!!!!!!!!
