1.5 L slow cooker recipes

Mich those meals look great, are the recipes on the forum?

I was never a huge fan of the slow cooker and got rid of mine when i got the pressure cooker but thinking a small one might be good now that we are both working full time.

[Bootobethin]

Yes Mich your recipes sound great.
I would love the recipe especially satay chicken.
Thanks it is a great idea to freeze raw.

JD chicken cooked from frozen will be OK in slow cooker as it thaws right through so is well cooked especially if cooked on high.

Slow Cooker are very useful whether big or small.

With chicken though Michele, I didn't think we could cook that from frozen.  Having said that I have now noticed on Turkey Breast Rolls there are instructions for cooking it from frozen so I'd love to know why things have changed.

Don't know Judy - but I cook chicken from frozen in the slow cooker and haven't had a problem yet.  I have actually found it moister if cooked from frozen - and the same for other meats too. 

[mcmich]

Same as astarra. Have always cooked it from frozen, never had a problem.

The recipes aren't off the forum. They are just ones I've collected over the years. I mix the sauces and marinades straight in the bag to save dishes.

Mcmich are you willing to share the satay chicken recipe for the SC?
It sounds great and well tested.
Please!
Thanks

Lambs  liver and onions in my little slow cooker.

About 500 gms lambs liver slice

3 medium onions sliced

Large confit garlic

Veggie paste

I can diced tomatoes

Tossed it in on low for 6 hours .

Yum yum.

Looks awful but a winner for DH who has a man cold.

I'd eat it Gert, I love lamb's fry and mash.

[mcmich]

Looks lovely Gert. Wish I could wrap my head around eating liver.

It does look good Gert, even though I am a non liver eater like Mich.

I love to share - that 's what we are about here.  

This is my satay chicken/beef/lamb

Ingredients

2 carrots - peeled and sliced
1 red capsicum (or whatever you have)
button mushrooms - sliced
2-3 sticks of celery sliced
750gms of chicken thigh or breast fillet (it's what you prefer and what's on special)
1 cup of snow peas sliced (I only use if on special - use sliced beans, whatever)

Sauce

100mls coconut milk ( I use reduced fat)
4tlbsp soy sauce
2 tlbsp sweet chilli sauce
2 tlbsp brown sugar
2 tlbsp corn flour

METHOD

Mix all the sauce ingredients together in a a zip lock bag or container.
Add the other ingredients.

Bob's your uncle, Fanny your aunt - freeze or pop in the crock pot.  

Basically I only stick to the sauce recipe. The meat and veg is whatever I have on hand.

[Bootobethin]

Thanksso much it sounds great.
Do you think adding a spoonful of peanut butter would add to the satay taste of this?
Perhaps I will just give it a whirl.
Thanks again.
Yum.

[mcmich]

I think peanut butter would be great.
I will add it next time and will actually add it to the slow cooker when I cook the satay I have. 

[Wonder]

Mich that recipe looks good and pretty easy, I would definitely add some peanut butter.

If it's not to much trouble could you also put the other recipes up?

[judydawn]

How many does the above recipe serve Michele?  Do you bag up portions just for the 2 of you or put it all in one large bag?

[mcmich]

Will post the other recipes.

I bag up .75kg of chicken/beef/lamb and veg and this serves 4. So 2 regular serves for me and 2 generous serves for DH (he likes his tucker). Quite often there is enough for another meal as it is served with rice, couscous. pasta etc.

Wonder you could cook these meals in your pressure cooker.
