Slow cooker recipes - please inspire me

[Womenareliketeabags]

My new baby is due the same week DS starts nursery school 5 mornings a week. Im hoping to try and make the most of my slow cooker and get tea cooking/prepared whilst DS is at nursery and I only have a baby to contend with not a baby and a tired 3 year old.

My current slow cooker knowledge expands to: chilli, braising steak, stew, and sausage casserole.

Please inspire me with your favourite recipes. They don't have to be one pot dishes as I'm happy to boil rice/pasta/potatoes separately if just like the majority of the tea cooked and sorted!

Thanks

curry is very easy, using patak's paste. baked beans/onions/dash white wine/meat/herbs/tom sauce is also good.

I make a fab Moroccan chicken in the slow cooker.

Chicken, chickpeas, tin toms, whatever veg, garlic and Moroccan seasoning. (mint, cumin, ect I can't remember right now but Google Moroccan seasoning it'll tell you). You'll need a couple of stock cubes as well plus loads of salt and pepper as slow cookers seem to cook out the taste.

I also layer the bottom of the sc with potatos cubed or wedged so it's an all in one meal.

Great for pulled pork

stew

Gammon

Curry

Ive done soups and kept it warm

Dhal

Soups - misetrone, lentil and tomato, ribollata, ham and pea, spicy gumbo, country veg, chicken soup, broccoli and mushroom, etc etc

Chilli, lime and coriander chicken thighs

Chorizo and pork belly stew.

A whole chicken stuffed with herbs and rubbed with tarragon butter. Or with chorizo slices pushed under the skin. Or stuffed with a whole head of garlic and lemon. ( but the skin is sacrificed in slow cooking. )

Chickpea and squash tagine.

Hot pots- lamb or beef. I brown the top under the grill at the end.

Not a family meal but- mulled wine.
