In my slow cooker today...

If you only have plain flour you can make a paste with butter (not a lot of butter ) and let that melt in, give it a good stir and cook on 30 mins on high......

Pork Ribs with potatoes, onions, leek, carrots, swede, parsnip, celery, dried mixed herbs, HM chicken stock just coming up to the bubbling stage in mine today.

Listening to the wind howling around, sounds as though we're going to need 'stick-to-your-ribs-food' this evening.

Hi

Dont get too worried - I have the same problem whenever I do a chicken casseroley type thing. Now always make sure I have a tub of thickening granules in the cupboard (I always mess up the cornflour method) these are quick cheap and easy - work with curry, casseroles, chilli (great with a chunk of bitter dark choc melted in it).

Good luck with it

Anyone help with where I can get thickening granules from? I've looked on Tesco's and Asda's websites but can't seem to find them???

Thanks to everyone for their help. I love this site, I really should be more active but I admit to being a bit of a lurker

I bought these once from Sainsbury's.

It really is down to personal taste what you use to thicken, I didn't like the granules so switched to cornflour, but it is what you like best.

Hi FiBe
try McDougalls thickeming granuals -i find them brilliant. just sprinkle into hot mixture and then watch it thicken. Its been off the market for a couple of months but just picked up a few cartons of the stuff. Not quite inexpensive like corn flour but soo easy to use when you need it.

Also its Glunten free :T for those on a coeliac diet

Where, where, where?? I think these are fab, and I can't find them anywhere anymore. I keep gazing in dismay at the space where they used to be in the supermarket.

I hate cornflour, the packets are stupid and I have never, not once, managed not to get it all over the place.

authentic chicken madras

Lidl's jar of madras sauce
3 x chicken breasts,
1 x large onion
2 x red peppers
1 x green pepper
3 cloves garlic

washed and cut the chicken into 2cm cubes, chop or slice the onions, peppers, crush the garlic, add the sauce , then add 2 cm's of water to the jar to rinse out the rest of the sauce, add all to the slow cooker for 5 hours on slow cook,
its lovely, the chicken is moist and soft and i find its the best tasting madras out of a jar!!
