RECIPE - Slow Cooked Pork Chops

Slow Cooked Pork Chops

Another slow cook favourite of mine is the Pork Chops.

1/4 Mug of good olive oil
1 Mug of Chicken broth (Knorr pods are good)
2 Minced garlic cloves
1 Tablespoon of Paprika
1 Tablespoon of Garlic Powder
1 Teaspoon of dried oregano
1 Teaspoon of dried basil
4 thick cut pork chops
Salt + Black Pepper

Cut some scores about 1/2 way through the Pork chops and rub salt and black pepper into them.

Dissolve your Knorr chicken stock pod into a mug of boiling water and throw it into the slow cooker. Throw in the chopped garlic, paprika, garlic powder, oregano and basil.

Add the pork chops to the mix.

Turn every hour for four hours. Job done.

Serve with buttery mash or sticky rice.

Lurvly!

See you in 5 hours casserole......

So, I don't think you cant beat a recipe as a first post. This one's one of my favourites, primarily 'cause im lazy.

When I know the wife or I wont want to cook in the evening, I break-out the slow cooker just after lunch.

Chuck all the ingredients in, and im not joking. i literally run a knife through veg and meat and throw it in the cooker with a pint and a half of stock (usually bisto) ;-)


For the full recipe - see 'Easy Slow Cook braised beef'

RECIPE - Easy Slow Cook Braised Beef

Easy Slow Cook Braised Beef

I'm usually a busy boy during the week so, sometimes, just after lunch, I turn the slow cooker on and add the following:

3 Large Braising Steak's - Cubed
3 Large Carrots - roughly sliced
2 Leeks - roughly sliced
1/2 Swede - roughly diced
2 Onions - roughly diced
4 Potatoes - cubed  (or halved depending on size)
2 Cloves of fresh garlic - crushed not sliced
1+1/2 pints of beef stock (cold)
Salt + Black Pepper

Chuck it all in the slow-cooker, stick it on high, and come back in 5 hours. Job done.
