    rubber chicken is when you roast a chicken and then use the left overs to make it stretch to two or three or more extra dishes - like curry and pie and soup

    purpleivy - thanks for the info, tell me more about the cooking of the beans???! sounds interesting and something i havent tried yet. i dont have a slow cooker as i am single and live alone but may get one if i can find a reasonable one somewhere?

    hope the falafels aren't deep fried, thats the only thing thats put me off making them in the past!

    Hi again Madge

    I soak the beans/chickpeas overnight and then cook in the pressure cooker following instruction book for timing. Then I bag in approx 250gs, cheapy thin ones, and freeze. My first lot I cooked in a pan, can't remember how long they took. If you are going to use beans in slow cooker you need to boil them on the stove first for 10 mins to destroy toxins, this is for kidney beans, not sure which others.
