Chicken liver pate.
Avacado alioli
Stuffed peppers
Lemon Mustard Salmon steaks
Let me know if you would like any of them typed up

I plan to use mine regardless. I have Bacon and Leek Suet Pudding on my List of To Do Recipes. I also will use to cook Beans and anything else needing a long slow cook.

Beetroot,barely any water ,packed tightly in a single layer.So much nicer than boiled and if you haven't got the oven on a good alternative to roasted

Lots of things to cook for summer menus - mind you the present weather has me making casseroles / suet dishes - lol

Ham/gammon piece to use cold as salad meat / in sandwiches / chopped in pasta / stirfries
Also game meats - ie - duck / pigeon breasts

Vichysoisse soup / Gaspacho Andaluz (tomato soup) to serve chilled

Fish soup / Caldillo de Pescado - somehow light enough for summer lunches

Salmon gently simmered and allowed to cool in its liquid

Stuffed peppers / tomatoes / marrow (courgettes) / onions

Fruit compote /tipsy apricots creme caramel - served chilled

Pates / terrines - various meats and/or vegetables

Fruit soups - pears & guavas / apple & raspberries

Lightly cooked berries - gooseberries / red.black currents etc - served chilled with pastry and cream

Stuffed peppers
6 peppers, 700 gms sausage, 1/2 cauli, 200 ml passata, handful of crumbed feta, 1 diced onion, pinch parsley, black olives, garlic clove crushed, pinch salt, pepper and mixed herbs.

Cut the tops off the pepper and empty the seeds etc, skin and brown the sausage meat.
Grate the raw cauli, I do this in a food processor, mix with the rest of the items except the cheese.
Stuff the peppers and put in the slow cooker with 1cm of stock. Add cheese to the top.

I really cannot tell you how nice this is.

I'll post the other recipe in the morning if time, if not after work.

pinkprincess how long do you cook the peppers for?

I always struggle with SC recipes in summer, the best I do is pilaf or cooking beans to add to cold salads.

Avocado alioli please - actually they all sound lovely

Sorry adelight, I forgot to say 4 hours on low I do them for but as the size of peppers vary you may like to leave them an hour longer if bigger.
