Thanks CavegirlBroccoli and cauliflower doesn't need as long to cook.I don't cook them in a slow cooker but I guess you need to add those an hour before the end of cooking time.It's ok for root veg to be in for a long time.And cut them up into big chunks.

I made a Lamb Rogan Josh in my slow cooker on Saturday and it was gorgeous Then did pulled pork with bbq sauce on Sunday. I love my slow cooker, despite slight paranoia about leaving it on all day!
i'm looking forward to going through this thread, now i have found it, and trying some recipes

subbing here for some yummy autumn recipes! I have my slow cooker going today with a thai curry in it! High in syns (25) considering its just for two but I will reduce syns for the rest of the week to make up for it.
If it turns out nice I will post the recipe (bit of a novice with the slow cooker but wanting to increase my recipe collection!!)

Chinese pork - slow cooker recipe 7 syns in total. Serves two
2 large pork chops
2 tablespoons brown sugar (4 syns)
1/2 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove of garlic (chopped)
One Mugful chicken stock
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons ketchup (3 syns)
Place the pork chops in the bottom of the slow cooker. Mix the rest of the ingredients in a jug and pour over the chops. Cook on low for 6 or 7 hours. Voila!!
It's so easy and really really tasty. This amount of ingredients makes plenty of sauce (which I like). I served it with noodles and made sort of a pork and noodle broth with it but it would also be lovely with mash as a kind of gravy, SW egg fried rice or a full stir fry.

This sounds lovely, definitely going to try it. So many slow-cooker recipes require 'browing' first which defeats prepare before going to work!!!!

That's encouraging
- I wonder why so many recipes say you should brown first?

I think it seals the meat and tastes better. I cannot stomach the thought of not browning first, just turns my stomach throwing raw meat in liquid, but I'm weird lol.

I made the most amazing slow cooker beef stew the other day from my mums recipe. It's almost syn free and the smell of it makes my mouth water...even just thinking about it! The recipe is:-
1 pack of stewing steak (not sure of the weight, it had 2 steaks in it)
3-4 rashers smoked bacon
1 large onion
3 carrots
1 pack button mushrooms
Garlic
Mixed herbs
Beef stock cube
Bovril
Water
Gravy browning
Cornflour
Cut any fat and rind off the steak and chop into cubes. Fry this for about a minute to brown it and set it aside in a bowl. Chop the carrots and onion into large chunks, remove any fat from the bacon and chop it into small pieces. Fry the carrots, onion and bacon with the garlic for about 5 minutes. Add 2 tsp of mixed herbs and then put the steak back into the pan and fry for another minute. Place the fried food into the slow cooker and add about three quarters of a pint of water. Mix in a beef stock cube and a teaspoon of Bovril and add a dash of gravy browning (no more than a quarter of a teaspoon). Throw in the button mushrooms and leave to cook. I usually put it on a low heat while I'm at work, so for about 8 hours. Once it's cooked, mix a little cornflour with some water and add this to the stew to make a slightly thicker consistency.
The only syns in this would be the cornflour I think and the amount of syns would be pretty much negligible as such a small amount is used. I find that the above recipe serves 2 of us for about 3 or 4 meals and it freezes really well too!
It's not necessary to fry the ingredients first, they can all just be thrown into the slow cooker but the smell of them frying is soooo good it's worth the extra effort! Bacon, onions and garlic....mmmm!
