Slow Cooker - The Recipe Collection

RQ as a total newbie to this I am not the best person to answer you but from my experiments I don't think you can go too wrong with the amounts of liquid as long as you put in enough to get it steaming you can always thicken it or add extra stock cubes or whatever if you have too much. I would think so long as all your stew ingredients are covered in liquid that would be sufficient. The top of my chicken fillets weren't submerged and they turned out perfectly.

Hi,
Can anyone let me know a tasty slow cooker recipe for rack of lamb?

I'd really appreciate any help, also if it can be a low fat recipe (I know lamb isnt!:o )or Weight watchers that'd be even better.

Thanks in advance

I would have thought that rack of lamb was better suited to a quick cook recipe. Brown it off in a pan and then into a hot oven for a short time to finish off leaving it nicely browned on the outside but still pink and juicy in the middle. Slow cookers are better for cheap cuts where the length of cooking gives the tenderness.

I was just thinking the same thing! Not all recipes are suitable for the SC.

definitely better roasted. Yummy!

IMO it would be sacrilege to slow cook a rack of lamb, sorry if that offends.

There is a slow cooker recipe list HERE and there are quite a few pork ones.

pork ribs would be best slowly simmered in stock if you have it or water if you dont in the slow cooker for several hours on low untill the meat is literally falling off the bone, when the meat is cooked drain + dry the ribs (keeping the stock for soup )then its time to put your sticky marinade on them. i use 3/4 of a cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of honey(i have been using maple syrup lately as my bro keeps sending it from canada :T ) a few dashes of soy sauce, 1/2 a teaspoon of dried ginger (or really finely grated thumbnail size of fresh ginger) and 3 or 4 crushed garlic cloves (to your own taste) mix this lovely gooey mixture up and marinade your meat in it for as long as poss overnight is best but 3 or 4 hours should do it. then finish off by grilling or in the oven untill they are nice and sticky and delish

Can you just slow cook ribs in a pot of stock for a few hours if you don't have a slow cooker?

Thanks

I do mine in the oven jellynose, you cook them in a sauce and take about an hour after marinating. Really lovely......fancying some now!
