Slow Cooker Roasted Shoulder of Lamb in Redcurrant Sauce

Slow Cooker Roasted Shoulder of Lamb in Redcurrant Sauce

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post and I’m still trying to get back into the blogging swing of things. In the final stages of my thesis getting it done was pretty all-consuming, and most extra-curricular activities went out the window. Now I’m trying to remember how I occupied my free time before, […]

Slow Cooker Pork Shank

Slow Cooker Pork Shank

Last year I got a couple of pork shanks and made Slow Cooker Pork Shank and Potato Three Tin Casserole, which was really nice. The other day I saw a pork shank in the supermarket again, this one was a lot bigger than the first two, and would easily serve two people, so I decided […]

Slow Cooker Braised Ox Cheeks

Slow Cooker Braised Ox Cheeks

This is a lovely one-pot stew using a cheap and tasty cut of meat. Don’t be put off by the “cheeks” part, they taste like beef and have the texture of any well-cooked stewing cut, and can be used for any recipe that requires long slow cooking, such as Ox Cheek Ragu. As with most […]

Slow Cooker Chipotle Pork Fillet – Low Syn

Slow Cooker Chipotle Pork Fillet – Low Syn

Another delicious low syn but high flavour dish for my Slimming World diet, and this time I thought I’d get the slow cooker out. I love pork and even lean pork is really tasty and moist when cooked in the slow cooker. I’ve made lots of slow cooked dishes using pork filler, like Healthier Slow […]

D(iet)-Day

D(iet)-Day

The time has come once again for me to diet. I don’t like autumn/winter, the awful weather, the short days, and what seems to be the inevitable winter weight gain. Maybe my body thinks I should be hibernating. I eat more, and get tempted by comfort foods more easily in winter. Then there’s the festive […]

Slow Cooker Pork Cheek Tomato Ragu

Slow Cooker Pork Cheek Tomato Ragu

I’ve previously posted a recipe for Pork Cheek Ragu which is cooked on the hob, and the other week I posted my rain-induced improvised Slow Cooker Pork Cheek and Mushroom Ragu. This week my mother brought some more pork cheeks home so I decided to make a big batch of a traditional tomatoey ragu, with […]
