Slow Cooker Recipes

[Trillian]

Durban Curry - posted by Kimashswan

In a pan heat about 1 tbsp cooking oil, medium heat.
Add 1 onion sliced lengthwise, and about 2 cloves crushed garlic, saute for about 2-3 minutes till onion begins to turn translucent, then add 1/2 tsp turmeric, and 1 tbsp curry powder (I used a mixed masala), saute that, till the spices have started to turn to oil (by that I mean they no longer look like powder). Then brown 1kg meat in that mixture. Tip all into the crock, and add 1-2 tins chopped tomatoes. (You can use fresh ones, about 6-8). Mix it all up and leave for about 5 hours on low. Then peel and halve 4 - 6 potatoes, pop them into the SC, mix around a little, and then leave them for another 2 hours, and voila, lamb curry to die for. I served it with rice


Chicken Parmesan (5.5 Points) - posted by Tigergirl1980

Serves 4

2 tsp Olive Oil
4 Skinless chicken breasts
1 1/3 cups crushed tomatoes
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp Sugar
Pinch of Celery seeds (I couldn't fnd any so used a few shakes of celery salt instead)
2 tbsp Dry Red Wine
1/2 Cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese

Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned. Combine the chicken and the next 5 ingredients in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours (the recipe says 6-8 but I find chicken breasts only need about 4) Combine the cheeses in a small bowl and sprinkle them over the chicken. Cook until the cheeses are melted, about 15 mins.

I assume from this recipe they cut the chicken up but I left them breasts whole and they were fine, but you could cut them up and you could probably leave the browning and just chuck it all in.

Veg Soup - posted by Kimashswan

1kg punnet mixed veg (butternut, baby marrow, petti pans, carrots, baby potatoes - they're called "potjie (poy-kee) packs" here. Potjie is a stew we do in a cast iron pot over low coals.)
1 large butternut
about 1/2 a shredded cabbage
2 packets Royco Minestrone (dry) soup, with water to mix per instruction
extra water to cover the veggies.

I put this on for 6 hours on high and stirred once or twice during the cooking time.
I mashed it roughly with a potato masher to break up the veggies, and then added 2 tins of Tomato and Onion mix, and 1 tin Baked Beans in tomato sauce. Stirred it all up. And my gosh, Yummo!!!!!
BTW I have a 7l SC
