galaxy-girl said:I've just prepared tomorrow nights slow cooker tea that I've pinched off a Schwartz website. In it I've put
3 large chicken breasts( will put in in morn)
120g fresh toms chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 onion chopped
200ml chicken stock
2 tbsp honey
Half tsp turmeric
Tsp cumin
Tsp coriander
Tsp cinnamon
Tin chickpeas
Smells absolutely divine but may add tin of toms in morn as theres not alot of sauce & don't want it to dry up. If served between 4 I work it out as 8 PP. May serve wi cous cous as it's a tagine. I'll report back tues eve on it's success x

Total ProPoints = 17, Serves 4, so that is 4ppts each
Found this recipe online and just threw everything in the slow cooker on low for about 6 hours, was delicious

Schwartz now do slow cooker sauce mixes. Not seen them in the supermarket yet but found them on their website. These usually are not too bad ProPoint wise as you add water to make the sauce. Going to have a look today to see if I can find them x
picklednut said:Hi All, I've got a slow cooker collecting dust in the cupboard and have decided to get it out inspired by this thread. Just a couple of questions:
1) do you always have to brown off mince / cook onions before you put in slow cooker? If so can you do this night before and throw it in with all the other stuff?
2) are slow cookers safe? I'm a bit weary having an electric item switched on all day whilst I'm out of the house.
3) Id have to switch slower cooker on at 8am and if I want tea at 6pm this would mean its cooking for 10 hours which is too long for some recipes. Does anyone use an electric timer to switch the slower cooker on/off?
Thanks in advance
