I have a spare inner dish for a Morphy Richards 6.5L slow cooker.... have just posted it on the Solihull freegle site if any local old styler can make use of it....location is B91 Solihull.

Vege soup, with loads of lentils, a bit of chicken anything that was in the leftovers box in the freezer.

I've just checked it, tastes lovely but could do with being a bit thicker
So i've put some rice on to boil, i'll throw that in once it's cooked,
Then leave it an hour to finish off.

I have some red lentils and leftover bacon, so was thinking of doing a soup in my slow cooker. I've never made anything apart from stew in it though:o so if anyone could point me in the direction of a recipe i'd be very grateful.

Carrots (or whatever veg you have!), onion, garlic, veg stock, chopped bacon, lentils, pinch of cayenne (or black pepper). Add more liquid/adjust seasoning later if necessary.

I've just thrown the chicken carcass in my SC together with a chopped onion, 2 chopped carrots, 4 chopped green tomatoes, about 10 sliced mushrooms, 2 tablespoons black lentils, 6 tablespoons red lentils, garlic, seasoning and enough water to cover Should be a decent chicken and veg soup ready when I get in from work in the morning.

Twqs chicken breasts in a Napolitana sauce and served with tagliatelle and pine kernels. Chicken is soooo good in the SC.

I've just started on my love affair with the slow cooker, but today I had turkey breasts, two tins of french onion soup, 1/4 cup soy sauce and 250g sour cream, cooked on low for 5-6 hours.

And it was pretty damn tasty!!!!

I've just thought of a question - I did a couple of SC casseroles last week, but the sauces came out a bit runny. I was wondering if I threw in a handful or two or couscous or bulgar wheat would it thicken it up a bit? And how long would it need to be in there for?

Or is there something else I can do that I haven't thought of?!

Sprinkle a couple heaped tablespoons flour/cornflour over the vegetables and mix it around a bit before adding liquid. It works for me.
