Bump

Its getting into SC weather,get them oot the cupboards,blow off the stoor and make a big batch of stovies! :)

Edit to Add: If you haven't tried it,this stovies recipe is the bawz

Peel and slice potatoes into discs approx half a centimetre thick.

Brown off 8 steak slice sausage,drain on kitchen paper to absorb excess fat,then cut into pieces about one inch square.

Fry one and a half onions gently until golden in colour.

Get a pint of beef stock. A cube will do ,but fresh made or supermarket pre made is better.

In bottom of SC arrange a layer of potato,then add pepper (no salt as you'll get this from stock)

Then add layer of sausage and onion.

Another layer of potato and season,then another of sausage and so on.

Once all layers are complete,pour in stock and cook on low heat for approx 6 hours.

When ready,if all stock hasnt been absorbed,I would drain some off then mash.

Dont mash too much as I think it best if you still have soime chunks of tattie.

Serve with buttered oat cakes, or buttered plain bead ..brown sauce optional

Enjoy

Also a good cheap and extremelly tasty dish is Pulled Pork

Posted this a long time ago, but still one of our favourites and a piece of pish to make

Shoulder of pork (not rolled and only costs around £5.50 in Asda)

Jar of BBQ Rub

Jar of BBQ sauce

1 Take string netting off the pork and rub inside and out with dry BBQ rub

2 Place in slow cooker fat side up,pour BBQ sauce over and make sure coated top,inside and underneath

Cook on low for 8 hours

Remove joint ,place on baking tray.

Remove any excess fat then with two forks shred all pork meat,so you get consistency like Chinese crispy duck

Pour some of the BBQ sauce/juices from the slow cooker over the shredded meat and mix it all up,taking care not to over saturate the meat with the sauce.

Put on a roll and enjoy !!

For some additional taste ,grate some cheddar over the top of the pork and place a few slices of chilli

Put under grill for half a minute until cheese melts into the pork...Simply delicious

Nah,but no reason why it wont work.

Made some on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. I don't think there's ever been anything easier. Chuck in wine, sherry, ginger, cinnamon sticks and a few cloves, whack it on high to get a heat into it then leave it on warm. Brilliant. Just don't overdo the cloves like I did on Sunday, unless you're working on cold and 'flu medicine.

Firstly I have to admit, I never cooked this in a slow cooker, but I suppose you could.

This is the best pub style curry I've tasted and just had to share it.

You will need one whole cooken chicken,either done by yourself or the ready roasted ones from the supermarkets are fine

Gently fry the following

2 x finely chopped onions

2 x cloves of garlic

2 x sliced courgettes

1 x tub of sliced muchrooms

In a seperate pan add

2 x chopped tomatoes

1 x jar of mango chutney

3 x heaped teaspoons of medium cury powder

1 x pint chicken stock

Flake all the chicken meat of the bone and chop the rest into bite sized pieces

Bring contents in pan to the boil, then simmer for 25 minutes,adding the chicken and fried ingredients.

Just before serving,stir in one tub (1/4 pint) of natural yoghurt.

Seve with rice

Its the fucking bawz!

You can obvioulsy ramp up the heat by adding more curry powder or chillies etc

Got a beef bourguignon in at the moment.

Should be done by 8..... Yummy

Fry braising steak and lardons until browned.

Set this aside then fry shallots, garlic and carrots for ten mins.

Add the meat back to the pan and sprinkle with flour. Heat for couple mins then add beef stock and red wine. Bring back to the boil.

Transfer to SC. Chuck in some new potatoes after a couple of hours. Then leave again for as long as you like.

Serve with tiger loaf.

Can't wait.

Chilli (with braising steak not mince)

(and also omitting the kidney beans because hubby doesn't like them dry.gif )

You should try adding a tin of baked beans instead as brilliant through chilli.

I also fry off and add some cooking chorizo when making chilli with braising steak ,its braw
