Do you actually use a Beef Brisket cut? I cant find it at my local.

The choc tart looks amazing!

I did. If you couldn't find the brisket, i'm sure gravy beef will work fine too.

If this happens then the best way to correct it is put a little flour or cornflour (my preference) into a cup, add in a small amount of the liquid from the pot and make a paste/ remove the lumps, add some more of the cooking liquid and make sure it is all mixed. Add back into the slow cooker and leave to cook further. Don't go overboard as do run the risk of the flour taste sticking around.

I will always coat my meat in seasoned flour, brown off in the pan and then add to a slow cooker - gets the caramelisation going and also helps cook the flour down.

Another option is to grate a potato into it.

Or if time is an issue, arrowroot can work as well. You do get a different texture, but it does thicken up without the flour taste

I put some beef short ribs in the slow cooker today with bbq marinade, because I had them in the freezer, and they turned out like giant Flintstones ribs. Huge. Hubby was very happy.

I've been thinking of going a chicken and spinach lasagne in the slow cooker next week.

Truffle Torte | Recipes | Delia Online

I had this at a friends last night - OMG - it was soooooo rich and soooo good - and when you see the ingredients you'll know why. I only had a sliver but she said she just cuts fine slices and it freezes very well

 

[love_the_life]

Oh I thought it was a black truffle recipe :shock:
Silly me - chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. A sliver would be ample by the look of it

Leftover brisket turned into pot pie - slap a store bought pastry on top, egg wash and bake. Dinner is ready.

Was given a couple of homegrown lemons so made a lemon Tart to end the weekend. One of my favourite store bought pastry, Chocolate Careme Pastry
Filling was pretty easy - 250ml cream, 2 eggs, 3 egg yolks, 110g caster sugar and 1/2cup of lemon juice. Whisk until combined and strain over the cooked pastry. In the oven for 30mins @ 140C.

Nice! I love Careme pastry.

I had had a lemon tart out the other night (at 12 Micron) which was paired with blackcurrant sorbet and it was a delicious combination.

Cooked one of my favourites tonight - tarragon chicken.

Gently brown chicken pieces, add leek/mushroom/favourite vegies. Stir in 2 tablespoons (no, not teaspoons) of tarragon, cover and reduce heat. When chicken is cooked add a little white wine and a tub (300ml) of cream. Turn up heat and reduce sauce. Serve with rice. Yum.

Not a fan of tarragon , otherwise sounds lovely

Weekend plans to use the slow cooker went out the window so this morning I quickly threw a repeat of the Mongolian Beef (as I had the meat defrosted but not bought the new ingredients I needed) I posted earlier into the cooker and went to work. This is quickly becoming a easy favourite and there are never any left overs.

Clearing out the freezer and found some beef short ribs that had been there for quite a while. Opps.

Threw them while frozen into the slow cooker with a bbq marinade, black beans, corn and went to work, came home to a really nice meal and added mash potatoes. Just what I needed for a cold winter dinner when I didnt want to be bothered with cooking.

I've got some chuck steak in the freezer that I'm planning on throwing into the slow cooker to make a really nice Mavrou curry: Mavrou
The recipe is for cooking it on the stove but I've made it several times in the slow cooker and it is melt in the mouth delicious.

Seems cauliflower soup has been popular of late. I recently made a batch due to cauliflower being on special at around $1/kilo.

Cauliflower & parmesan soup with crispy bacon











With some nice fresh crusty bread it was delicious.

Loving cauliflower soup this winter but havent added bacon to it... yet!

Will add bacon to the shopping list this for this weekend.

I love my pressure cooker and use it often but I dont have a slow cooker. While they are kind of the opposite way to achieve the same thing I'm thinking that I should buy a slow cooker as well. Which ones do you all have that you would recommend?

My 2cents is a slow cooker that will automatically switch to warm once the cooking time is done, apparently not all do this.
