Two chicken carcasses (had been frozen for stock from roast chickens), peelings from a 2kg bag of onions (that had been prepped, chopped and frozen this week) plus peelings from a couple of pounds of carrots (had also been frozen and stashed for stock making) plus a full carrot. Hoping to get some good home-made chicken stock from this lot .

home-made baked beans
soaked some borlotti beans last night, boiled them for 10 minutes this morning in fresh water, then bunged them in slow cooker with a tin of tomatoes, a good squirt of tomato puree, some dried mixed herbs, mixed seasoning (includes garlic salt, chilli powder, celery, etc.), some water, a couple of chicken stock cubes, a tad of dried milk powder, a glug of olive oil and a finely diced courgette... smells delish!!!

Im doing the boiled ham from the Economy Gastronomy cook book. Have added some red lentils and potato to the bedrock recipe so the cooking juices become a soup for later on.

Yesterday's Chicken Stock was a total disaster - wish I'd just used my usual method - all the onion skins were a 'stupid idea' :doh: - ho hum back to the drawing board! I roasted a chicken yesterday and there was loads of lovely stock off it; that's been chilled, the fat skimmed off and the resulting jelly frozen for another day - so all is not lost .

As today, is August Bank Holiday Monday, my SC is having the day off - been a bit over-worked recently .

In my SC I have coq au vin, for tomorrows dinner (when I will be too knackered to make anything from scratch lol)

In my oven, which has a SC setting I have beef casserole, as I made double portions of shepherds pie last night thats this week pretty sorted!

I would love to make risotto in the sc i have some butternut squash and risotto rice, or is it best to cook it in a pan?

would have thought risotto rice would not keep warm in the SC too well and kind of set in one glupy lump? :eek:
