In an attempt to get dinner on the table earlier and Oscar into bed earlier (he has given up his afternoon naps) we have decide to make use of the slow cooker on the days that I work. This means a little bit of effort the evening before to prepare everything and have it ready in the fridge to throw in the slow cooker in the morning. This was the first recipe I tried, modifying it from one on All Recipes. It smelt delicious when we got home and tasted just as good. All we had to do was cook some cous cous to go with it and dinner was on the table.
If you can’t have amines this recipe will work just as well on the stove top or in a covered casserole dish in the oven.

Yippeeeeeeee! I’m going to try this recipe exactly as is, no modification required! I haven’t written about this stuff for ages but we’ve been introducing small amounts of daily moderate sals and it’s been going very well. I have some FS sausages that I managed to get in Brisbane and bring back frozen, so this is going to happen this weekend! Super excited 😀
That’s great! This is a really good one, it has become a weekly staple in the slow cooker as it makes dinner so much easier and it always tastes really yummy! Well done on the food re-introduction with TT.
