Recipes for a slow cooker

[kezza1973]

I have just bought a slow cooker. Anyone have any easy recipes to chuck in and go?

[beryllium]

I do lamb with leeks, and carrots, onions, garlic, cabbage, stock and red wine, with fresh mint and fresh rosemary and potatoes.

I use lamb shanks or boned shoulder.

Brown meat and put in pot.

Fry onions, garlic and carrots and leeks 3 mins and put in pot.

Cut tatties up small, i use new pots and put in pot. top with 1/2 the stock and all the herbs...

In the pan you've used to brown meat and onions etc, pour in rest of stock and red wine and bubble for a couple of mins before putting in the pot....

and then i shred the cabbage finely and add that...

I cook on high for a 4 hours then switch to low for 3 hours....

Bear in mind root veg takes quite a while to cook in a slow cooker

Before you go to work - just take a fresh or frozen beef or pork roast and put it in the slow cooker. Sprinkle it with whatever herbs and/or spices you enjoy. I love sage with pork - or rosemary - either one. Don't use any liquid at all. When you come home from work the house smells wonderful and all you have to do is make a salad to finish dinner!!!
