Slooooooow Cooker Recipes

Thought I would add to this thread tonight's dinner.
Pulled pomegranate and anise pork with spiced cabbage.
Pork shoulder (approx 1.5kg)
3 crushed star anise
5 cloves
6 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 onion (sliced thin)
2" of ginger (sliced)
1 chilli (de-seeded and chopped)
1 tea spoon of cayenne
1 tea spoon of ground cinnamon
1 glass of pomegranate juice
2 tea spoon of pomegranate molasses
2 tea spoons of honey
4 tea spoons of red wine vinegar
Salt / Pepper
All put in the slow cooker and left for 10 hours.
Pull the pork out and pull, set to one side.
Sieve the juices from the pot and reduce in a pan to a thick sauce.
Mix the pulled pork back into the syrupy sauce.
This makes quite a bit of pulled pork, I would say it will do at least dinner for 4.
Hope this helps

I was given a kilo of home grown tomatoes, I can't stand raw tomatoes, so intending to use them in a pasta dish I neglected them until they were over ripe.
In a fit of experimentation since dragging out the slow cooker after at least 20 years, I cut the toms into quarters added nothing and slow cooked them on low overnight, wow! a really rich sweet full flavour even without any seasoning, closer to sun dried than the usual watery tomato taste.

I bought the Aldi 6.5l jobbie, so first go to check it over was something I found called stuffed onion bombs. Pretty simple to do.
Do a meatloaf recipe, however you prefer to do yours, but when you do the onions, take the first few layers off and keep them to one side as a shell, then chop the rest for the mix. Fill the shells with meatloaf mix, wrap with some bacon rashers. Looking around at recipe sites and videos, some wrapped it in foil, some didn't. I did mine in foil, in there with a baking potato wrapped in foil with salt pepper and olive oil. 4 hours on high.
Not my photo:
I used 2 onions so had 2 shells, and I've got mix left over for something else.

Both came out fine, I hadn't done either of them before, and I think I'll be doing baked potatoes like this a lot more now.

2. Cut the layer of fat off the pork before it goes in the slow cooker, cover the fat in plenty of salt, leave it on a plate in the fridge for a few hours and then just whack it in a hot oven for some great crackling. Don't tell anyone else you've done it and then you get it all to yourself. Cook's treat!
Brilliant thanks!Will the crackling keep? If I blasted it tonight would it still be edible for a couple of days worth of snacking?
Interested to see how the chicken turns out, received wisdom says the breast isn't suited for this but you never know....
For the pulled pork recipe that's been on here numerous times I added a tin of baked beans to it and about a third of a bottle of sweet baby rays honey bbq sauce and it was cracking. Would recommend the beans, just beed sieving and the fat skimming off before sticking the meat back in about 30 mins before serving.
