So its been quiet a redundant appliance in our kitchen, so I decided to wipe off the cobwebs and give it a whirl… and what a result!
I would probably stay clear of using “non-slow cooker” recipes in one though. On the first attempt, this is what I tried, but found the sauce was far too runny. But on the most recent attempt, I found this great slow cooker recipe and changed it slightly as follows:
- 1kg stewing meat
- 4 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 2 cups of water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 Beef Oxo Cubes
Fry the meat then lob everything in the slow cooker for 7-9 hours on low, you may have to put some corn flour in the mixture to thicken it slightly if runny at all.
Although it seems like a long time, I prepared everything before work (took 15 mins) and by the time I got home, dinner was ready – perfect stew!
Please comment if you have any great slow cooker recipes…
