[OB1LukeLucas]

What are your favourite meals to make in the slow cooker? I could do with some inspiration...

Would you put dumplings in from the start of cooking or do you put them nearer the time you would be eating? (I've only ever made mince & dumplings in an oven when I put them in about half an hour before we eat)

I have tried the Schwartz curry mix, I like it made with lamb as well as the chicken. I've never tried chilli with braising steak, I'll definitely add that to the list.

You put them in about 30 mins before the end still

I do nearly all my roasts in slow cooker - gammon with raw shallots, sliced carrots in a mix of apple juice and water - lamb or beef in stock with sliced carrots, browning the meat and shallots.

I also use it with a jar of tagine paste, normally using diced beef, a bit of stock and tomato passata, onion, and dried apricots to cook it slower.

My 2 fave chicken slow cook recipes are chicken with leek, bacon cooked in stock and apple juice, wth thyme. makes it quite bbq like.

also chicken fricassee with a wine and flour sauce, and shallots. I use thighs or legs for both the chicken recipes.

Love my slow cooker!

It's getting to that time of year now where mine will e coming out... I love doing a whole joint or chicken it...

I also like doing chicken breast, diced onion, garlic powder/flakes or crushed cloves and tin tomatoes with herbs... I sprinkle some extra Italian herbs in too. Serve with rice, Quinta or mash...

Obviously a Lancashire hot pot is great I there too (Lancashire Lass)
