In my slow cooker today.... part 2

I got mine from the local butcher. It was vacuum-packed on the premises. They've got various sizes. Mine was only £1.80 and gave enough meat for 5 dinners for me. Tasted just like my Gran used to make it many years ago.

yesterday I put a lamb shank with a veg stock cube, some onions and sliced potatoes with about a pint of water (didn't cover meat fully)

put on medium at 8am and ate at 10.30pm - lamb was still pink to look at but cooked perfectly and fell off the bone. Served with peas as at that time of night there was little energy in me to do anything else!

the dog is currently enjoying his dry food with a good splash of stock and lamb juices on it.

A whole chicken, with a whole onion, 1/2 lemon, whole head of unpeeled garlic shoved in its cavity. Seasoned with seasalt, black pepper, and rosemary.

Got a question?????

I am going to do a ham hock (because I'm cheap!) in coke over the weekend. I dont want all the fat in the coke sauce. I was thinking of soaking the hock over night to reduce the salt and then skinning it before popping it in the slow cooker, what do you reckon?

I am using a recipe from my Hamlyn 200 slow cooker recipes that I downloaded to my kindle app, fantastic book! The only change is they suggest tinned kidney beans which we dont like so I am going to use butter beans......yum! going to serve with baked potatoes and veg.
