Just a brief post–in addition to doing the Spice Rack Challenge, this year I’m hoping (in anticipation of possibly having a whole lot less time to cook in the near future) to amass a collection of good, simple slow-cooker recipes. I already have a good chili recipe (which I may post about some other time, if there’s any demand for yet another chili recipe), and a good salsa chicken taco filling recipe (courtesy of my friend Cheryl), and recently I came across an amazing hoisin pulled pork, which is another “dump it all in the crock pot and go” recipe–no pre-searing or sauteing required (and although I haven’t tried making it with chicken yet, I’m sure it would work fantastically). And, it came with a recipe for an equally amazing crunchy peanut slaw–I honestly wasn’t expecting much out the slaw, because nothing in the ingredient list screamed “yum” to me, but it ended up being so good I’d happily eat it all by itself. (I did substitute brocco-slaw-in-a-bag for the shredded cabbage–after the deluge of CSA cabbage this past summer, I just couldn’t bring myself to make another cabbage slaw–and it worked wonderfully.) Anybody else out there have a really killer, dead simple slow-cooker recipe?
BTW–The Kitchn (which is where these recipes, and many more recent winners I’ve come across, come from) has had a couple of interesting theme weeks lately–last week was gluten-free recipes, and the week before that they did vegan.
I second the request: slow cooker recipes are yummy!
