I have family coming on Sunday who will be coming for lunch at approx 1.30 (timing has to be a bit flexible as they are travelling on motorways so arrival dependent on traffic). I decided it would be less stressful to do a lovely butter chicken curry that I make in the slow cooker than stressing about timings for a roast. However, the recipe I use needs a little bit of prep on the hob before everything is put in the slow cooker. I don't want to be cooking smelly spicy food at 7am on a Sunday morning and it will be on for too long if I put it on overnight.
Just wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what I could do - I thought this was an easy option but now I'm not so sure!
