Chicken Curry

chicken breast fillets or bits
big tin cream of chicken soup (I use campbells)
2 tbl spoons mayo
little curry powder
diced onion

I make this with and without the curry powder. Theres Chicken Tonight's bottle sauces, and without the curry tastes very similar to one of them lol. Can't remember which one since I now make my own I havent bought anything in a while. ;p

I just toss in diced chicken, or legs/wings, tip the soup over it, stir in some mayo and stir in the curry powder well. I usually use about 1-2 tsp. When feeling adventurous, I'll toss in a (tiny) shake of cayenne(sp) pepper

About 5 hours on auto?

Lamb Shanks with Lentils

This recipe is from Donna Hay's "Off The Shelf" Cookbook. I've just made a few changes.

The original recipe is for 4 people, I've halved it for dh and me.

1 cup lentils (washed)
2 lamb shanks
2 cups beef stock (I use powdered stuff)
1 tin whole tomatos (use a good brand, it makes a difference)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Herbs (fresh or dried, I use some mixed italian or whatever fresh herbs are alive out the back)
Salt, pepper

Put the rinsed lentils in bottom of pot. Add stock and sugar, then shanks. Pour tomoatos over the top. Sprinkle with herbs, salt and pepper.

Cook for 9 hours or so on low (my favourite)... or 4ish hours on high.

We think it's fantastic.

YUM! i just threw stuff in so am having to guesstimate quantities. if you think it needs more or less of something adjust to your taste.

slow cooker tofu and vegie satay
1/2 onions, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 block firm tofu, drained and chopped
2-3 sticks celery, chopped
1/2 packet frozen broccoli
and / or any other vegies you like such as beans, potatoes, chinese corn (the little ones, i'm blanking on what they're really called!), even cucumber.

chicken stock - 1 cube or 1 1/2 tspns of powder
ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce) to taste
1/2 cup peanut butter of any kind
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1 tspn brown sugar
Nandos mild peri peri sauce (or sweet chilli sauce) to taste
2 tspns ground coriander
1 tspn group cumin
1/2 cup approx boiling water
2 tspns cornflour
1/4 cup coconut milk powder (or coconut milk and use less water)
coriander optional
garlic and ginger - i meant to put these in but forgot so they're optional

place all vegies and tofu in slow cooker.
sprinkle spices over
in a small bowl or jug mix together chicken stock, ketjap manis, peanut butter, chopped peanuts, brown sugar, peri peri or sweet chili sauce and boiling water and pour over vegies
cook for around 2.5 hours on auto
around 45-30 minutes before eating add broccoli (and other frozen veg). mix together coconut powder, cornflour and enough cold water to make a paste. add to slow cooker and mix well. add additional hot water if sauce is too dry.
continue to cook until frozen veg are done.
add coriander for serving, if using.

great as a side dish with thai chicken pies (make your own or use herbert adams brand) or over rice as a main.

I've just left the table from eating this one...I'll type and let the family clean up :eg:

APPLE PORK CHOPS

6 Pork loin chops (well trimmed)
6 Tart apples, cored and thickly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons Cooking oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup dried currants
salt (as required)

Brown chops in oil in skillet. Sprinkle with sald during browning. Drain well then place into slow cooker.

combine remaining ingredients and pour over chops. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-9 hours.

VERY yummy, the apples break down to form most of the juice/sauce, making for a yummy casserole as the meat comes away from the bone. I'm actually thinking that 6 hours may see it ready instead of the recommended minimum of 7!

I'm looking forward to trying some of these recipes. A new slow cooker arrived under my chrissy tree which will be incredibly handy to organise dinners on nights that see activities finishing around dinner time.

Bye for now,
Molly.

these recipes are fabulous! there are some things here i hadn't even thought of using the slow cooker for

my favourite

Slow baked Pork

Get a boned leg or shoulder piece, whatever is available and cut the rind off it (i like to cook the rind in the oven for crackling, but you can just toss it if you don't like it)
In the bottom of the cooker, put a few handfuls of woody herbs (eg thyme, lemon thyme, rosemary, oregano) and add 3-4 garlic cloves (no need to peel them)
Add the pork. You can brown it in a pan for a nice outer crust, but i've been in a rush and not done that and it's fine.
Add about 1/4 cup of liquid, either just water or chicken stock, and a good grinding of salt and pepper. leave on auto for 8 hours (or high for 1 and low for 6) and the meat will come apart in chunks.

You can remove the herb stalks and squeeze the garlic out of the skin, and make a beautiful gravy to go over it. I like to bake vegetables and the crackling to go with it, but it's also good with rice and salad.

I made this yesterday and it was MUCH more delicious than i thought it would be! i got it from the AWW site on ninemsn. my changes / suggestions at the bottom

Chorizo, Chickpea and Potato Casserole

ingredients
2 cups chicken stock
pinch of saffron
3 chorizos, scored and sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, sliced
6 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
2 400g tin of chickpeas, drained
4 red capsicum, roasted
2 tablespoons chopped parsley


method
Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C for fan forced.

Place chicken stock in a small saucepan along with a good pinch of saffron. Gently warm. Remove and set aside.

Place chorizo in a medium sized frying pan and cook until chorizo starts to crisp. Remove and set aside. Add olive oil to the same pan. Add onion and cook until caramelised. Remove and set aside. Cook potatoes in batches until browned.

Alternate layers of sausage, chickpeas, onions, and capsicum in an ovenproof dish. Pour over stock. Cover with foil and place in oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook for a further 10 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad.




I didn't have any saffron just used a little turmeric for colour.
i think it would be better to fry the sausages whole, then slice and quickly brown up the sliced sides.
i did mine in a slow cooker (took about 5 hours on low) and i just quickly browned the potatoes without cooking them. i did slices about 6mm thick but next time i'll dice them about 2cm square.
i didn't have roast capsicum and no grill to do my own so just quickly fried them and that was fine.

Yumm all these recipes sound delicious

Hmm which one to cook first

[MBMum]

Yum, Yum , Yum!

I have tried the first recipe on the post and it was great.

Next is onto one of the chicken ones.

Does anyone have any good slow cooker cook books? I have had a look on the web but some of the sites seem a bit dodgey. Or do you just make up your own recipes?
