    Chilli? You can serve it with wraps/taco's instead of rice?

    Or some of the chicken thigh casserole - spanish chicken type dishes could be made in slow cooker?

    The Jamie Oliver slow cooked lamb recipe lends itself to the slow cooker
    and is absolutely delicious so I would recommend for a dinner party...
    Is great as you get the roast meat, vegetables + delicious sauce all in one with minimal effort!

    Also very MSE as the leftover lamb + vegetable + sauce can be made into meals for the freezer/rest of week
    e.g. mix up with pasta for real Italian style ragu or pop in casserole pot, top with mashed potato for Shepherd's pie.

    The recipe is in the Jamie's dinners cookbook,
    or there is a version here
