Good thread.

3L slow cookers £12 in Tescos at the minute, so keep the recipes coming.

Beef shin sounds good, as does chilli with bigger lumps.

Chilli con carne with cuts of beef, not mince. 2-3 days in the slow cooker of the rayburn and the meat just falls apart!

 

 

 

Also, Spanish pork. From memory, brown some cheap cuts of pork, no bone, then into the pot, a little water, lots of paprika, and half a bottle of Madeira??

 

 

 

Needs a good few hours, but it melts!

 

 

 

Flipping pizza tonight

 

 

Wish I had pizza, I come in the door and ' oh no not stew'

Been on the stew for 3 days, Mrs Normandy has been away in the UK, so left fending for myself, I made a huge batch and left it in the slow oven, gets better each day:laugh1:

 

She comes home tonight, so a pizza seemed like the least amount of work.

The chilli takes days, but worth it. The meat is reduced to strands of flavor, and any fat will just mix in to the sauce. Just remember to put the kidney beans in on the final day or they will be mush.

I make chilli with the cheapest pack of beef steaks I can get my hands on, cut into thick slices, with tomatoes, onions, kidney beans, and spices.

 

Mix it all into the pot the evening before. Next morning just put the slow cooker on low before work. The best thing is the smell when you open the door after work.

 

I now look down on anyone who makes chilli with minced beef. Pansies.

I'm having beef shin tonight, cooked the day before yesterday, for 4 hours in the rayburn. The trick with slow cooking is to properly brown the meat first, needs to be BROWN not grey. That way you get a really nice dark stock like this...

 

This is on its third day now, its tastes better than it looks, and the kids love it too.

 

In there is the well browned shin ( do it in small batches or it just sweats in its own juice) then add onions, carrots, parsnips, turnips or whatever you like, a bunch of thyme, a pint of ale, dash of Lee and Perrins and some pepper and beef stock . taste after cooking to see if it needs any salt, some stocks are quite salty.

 

cook for 4 hours at 140-160C and enjoy....
