slow cooker & unattended recipes
I have a slow cooker and its so convenient to just chuck everything into it in the morning and come back to a nice meal.
The two main meals I make with it are
Fish & Tomato soup
1 Tin of tomato's
1 Tin of pilchards/sardines in tomato sauce
1 onion chopped up
A good few shakes of paprika
2 bay leaves
about three cups boiling water
1 piece of garlic chopped
low heat all day
__
Spicy soup
1 tin of tomato's
1/2 tin of kidney beans
As much hot sauce as you can take (a nice amount really)
a small spoon of basil
a small spoon of papricka
1 onion
4/5 mushrooms chopped up nice and small
1 piece garlic chopped
3 cups boiling water
low heat all day

Now, I am sure the elitists and so called "chefs" will comment about how uncouth and uncultured it is to eat cheap and simple meals like this... but I find it hearty, filling, tasty, and best of all next to no effort.
I'd like to try some other recipes on the slow cooker though. I also use it to make a casserole, which is basically
meat (liver or a cheap bit of beef) - brown it off in a pan for say 5 mins
1 potato chopped nice and small
2 bits of celery chopped
2 carrots chopped
1 onion chopped
1 bit of garlic chopped
half spoon sage
half spoon parlsey
1 vegtable stock cube
1 parsnip chopped
1 spoon paprika
a good bit of worcestershire sauce
(if you have any other root vegtable about by all means chuck it in)
pour in boiling water so its mostly covering the meat
say two big spoons of cornflour and stir that in
Again, all day on low heat
If you fancy it a bit richer, put in half as much water and half a pint of English bitter or stout.
