In my slow cooker today...

Does anyone make porridge in their slow cooker?

I haven't had it for years and I can't really remember if I am keen on it or not to be honest :rolleyes:, but I thought I may give it a go in the sc.

I`ve heard that others have made it but never really considered it TBH as it`s so quick to make on the hob, i remember reading about it somewhere on here maybe as long ago as last year.

Seasoned chicken portions with potato, fresh coriander, garlic, lime, and white wine, and a little chorizo. Had to make up today from what I've got in the fridge.

I've just added some paprika and dried thyme.

Now some allspice.

I do mine in the microwave (yeah I know NOT traditional and any Scots will have my guts for garters!).

half a cup of porridge oats in a deep bowl
one and a quarter cups of water (or water/milk or all milk) - stirred in

Ping for one minute and then stir.
Ping for another minute and keep an eye on it in case it 'volcanos'!
Serve with a teaspoon of demerara sugar, syrup or honey on top :drool:

Very quick - no burnt pans - only one bowl to wash up afterwards .

I microwave porridge too (for about 4 minutes), very quick and little mess (except for occasional volcanoes as per Olliebeak! ). I tend to burn the bottom of the pan when doing it on the hob.

Yesterday I cooked up a pot of veggie curry with chickpeas for protein. There are 6 large portions now in the freezer for mid week meals when I'm going to be late home from work.

Can you post your veggie curry recipe please? DD2 loves curry...and doesn't mind eating veggies that way! The more sauce the better!

Yes please. I love chickpeas and vegetables, but am having to be cunning feeding my toddler veg at the minute. It sounds just what he would like. :T

Hi Dobie - Another request for the veggie/chickpea curry recipe please.....just the thought of it has made my mouth water and I'm going shopping after work so can pick up any necessary bits

The really great thing about doing them in the slow cooker is that the pan can't boil dry and ruin your meal . Plus of course all the lovely stock for the pea and ham soup :drool:.
