SLOW COOKER RECIPES

[Sinead6uk]

Can anyone help on the Jamie Oliver chilli do you use the same amount of stock n liquid as recipe states as I find sometimes in slow cooker it's very liquidy! Any tips appreciated!! X

I used the amount of stock suggested for this recipe and it was very liquidy, I took the lid of and put it on high for the last hour which helped but i'm making this again next week and intend to only use half the amount of stock in it. x

I had it in for 7 hours, 7 on low and then an hour at the end on high with the lid off but when i try it with less stock i'll probably just do 8 hours on low. x

The slow cooker is great for soups like broth, lentil, rice pudding using milk from hexb, bolognese, chilli, stews, casseroles (chicken or sausage) roasts and whole chickens.

I have a recipe for Tamarind chilli chicken which is lovely. It's 2½ syns but I think it's worth it.

Serves 4

8 pieces of skinless chicken
Frylight
1 onion chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 red chilli chopped
2 garlic cloves chopped
1 tablespoon tamarind paste
1 tablespoon sweetner
1 teaspoon ground tumeric
2 tablespoons plain flour
450ml chicken stock made with chicken bovril
salt & pepper
Coriander to serve
Spray frying pan with frylight and brown chicken to seal. Once brown remove. Add onion to pan & fry till lightly browned. Add red pepper chilli & garlic cook for 2 mins. Mix in tamarind, sweetner & tumeric. Cook for another minute then mix in flour. Gradually add stock and season to taste. Bring to boil. Put chicken into slow cooker and add sauce. Cover & cook on low for 8-10 hours (if chicken has bones) or 5-6 if breasts. Serve with coriander. Yummmmmm.

Tamarind can be found where the herbs and spices are.

Thanks Hazykay for posting this recipe, just made it - gorgeous, will be making again soon.

The lamb meatballs are syn free if you use mint sauce without sugar. Colemans mint sauce doesn't have sugar added and they are yum, honest

Do you fry the meatballs off first?how long do u putin slow cooket for?

Do you fry the meatballs off first?how long do u putin slow cooket for?

That member last posted in Jan. So I will try to answer.
I would also just say lambs mince bought in the shop is only lean not extra lean, so unless you mince lean lambs meat it needs to be synned.

Ex lean beef or Sains turkey mince is free.
Meatballs I would do 4-5 hours on low though.
