Slooooooow Cooker Recipes

[Carguy44]

I've recently used mine for whole chickens and brisket (which was really nice). I rest the meat on top of onion while cooking and then it's easy to make gravy from the juices that you get.

I usually go for the red wine and then remove and reduce to a sticky jus, but I've tried this one too and it's good;

Pulled ham/gammon hock

take 1 gammon ham joint or ham hock

place in slow cooker

pour in carton of apple juice

slow cook for 5-8 hours

shred meat

brush with a mixture made from soft brown sugar and "American Style" mustard

place on a baking tray and bake for 10 mins

Serve with jacket spud and salad.

Did this today and just eaten it. Delicious! I went a bit 'off piste' with the glaze, as I didn't have American Style mustard, so used half English and half Dijon. Also added a pinch of Chinese Five Spice and a splash of Balsamic Vinegar. As there were no quantities and I didn't want to overpower the meat, I probably didn't make enough glaze. Next time I do it I will know to make more. It was still lovely and moist though, and a really nice flavour. Served with mashed potato and sauteed savoy cabbage/leeks. Thanks for the recipe

I’m looking for vegetarian recipes like this for the fussy boy so thanks for introducing me to this website.

Can I ask how you did this in a slow cooker? With the ingredients list I can’t help but think this would be more like a soup without the stages to cook the moisture out of the vegetables.

You're right, follow the instructions to the letter as it helps layer the flavours really well and once it looks just a tiny bit too watery I put it in the slow cooker.
It's normally in there for about four hours and comes out perfectly. I don;t put the celery or cinnamon in but add extra chillis to the top of the mixture which get removed about two hours in.

If your lads fussy try these as well https://pinchofnom.com/recipes
There's a cracking selection

Thanks Twing that’s really useful. Quite a few things I can batch cook quickly to keep him happy

Did my version of a James Martin recipe last night.

Lamb shoulder
jar of tikka masala sauce
1 onion sliced
2 spuds cut into large chunks

onion & spuds in bottom of the pot

lamb shoulder seasoned and browned off in hot frying pan then put in slow cooker with the jar of tikka masala sauce poured over the lamb.

cooked on high for 3 hours then low for last hour & half turned the lamb every hour or so

when done stripped meat from the bone put meat back in sauce (cooker was off)

Heated up some chappatis

job done

the spuds were out of this world...........lamb was lovely as well

worth a try :-)

Just finished a portion of this cooked by OH while I was out for the day. He text me earlier to say it smelt lovely, and the taste lived up to the smell! As suggested above, the potatoes were amazing, a revelation for me. Definitely one we'll be repeating.

Have done a couple of recipes from this cookbook this week:

Baked Ham in Cola at the weekend and Lamb Tagine tonight. Both great.

Really making the most of our slow cooker at the moment.
