Gertie Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hello slow cooker experts! After reading Cinnamons thread on successful slow cooking, I'm resolved to keep trying mine to get a decent dish! I have an ancient Tower Auto, given to me by my mum. It has a large ceramic pot with lid. As this week is half term, I'm going to attempt rice pudding. Does anyone have any tried and tested recipes for this so I don't mess it up? Or any other nice recipes. I've half a bottle of red wine to use, so wondering what I can use that for in slow cooker! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I wouldn't put the red wine in the rice pudding. I would have thought that you could use any rice pudding recipe, just reduce the liquid a little bit, I made one once and didn't reduce the milk and it turned out more like porridge. Red wine could be used in any meat stew dish, but as with all slow cooker recipes don't use too much liquid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm going to make chicken & chorizo stew in a minute. The red wine can go in there! Re rice pudding, there are lots of recipes. I'll just have to take my chances with the liquid quantities. That's a project for later in the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertie Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yes, I'll have a go! I made it up though, so I don't have exact quantities!! I just used whatever veggies I had available, but I guess you could just add anything you fancied! So, it was pretty tasty. I served it with leftover Spanish omelette and a salad. My dad and nan seemed to enjoy it! It served 3 people with very little leftover and was not too liquidy! 1 large onion 1 large carrot 3 garlic cloves 3 large mushrooms 1 packet of cherry tomatoes 3 chorizo sausages 2 large chicken breasts 1 can of flageolet beans (discovered I had no chickpeas, but that was my original plan!) handful of frozen peas Approx 1 teaspoon of paprika 2 bay leaves 2 chicken stock cubes Some red wine ( was just enough to cover the bottom of the slow cooker pot) Olive oil to cook in the pan Salt and pepper to taste I chopped up the meat and veg quite small and cooked it together in the pan on the hob until it was softened. I then put the wine, stock, herbs and beans in the slow cooker, added it all together in the slow cooker pot and stirred it together. I put it on high setting for 8 hours.
