Aparna's Cookbook: Slow cooker recipes

Meat and veggies at low for 8 hrs. Before and after.

I am a great fan of slow-cooking. The flavors are retained, and you need less grease to facilitate cooking. A friend I made in Boston often baked me dinner (for about 2 hrs). At the end of the day, it felt delicious and very satisfying. Last night, I decided to put my slow-cooker to use and picked some random veggies from my pantry- most preferably non-starchy veggies like tomatoes, onions, celery, carrots, pepper and mushrooms etc. (Some recipes might call for potatoes though). I threw in a few mutton pieces that were marinating for a curry. (Yeah, totally random). Then I switched on the cooker and went to sleep. In the morning, I was greeted with a delicious aroma of the slow cooked goodness.

For beginners: 1. Resist the temptation to take a peek, though you might give a stir into one hour cooking.

It is a good option for traditional recipes that ask for long cooking times, ?perfect for a working man/woman with long day out with very little energy to spend in the kitchen after a tiring day at work, and even an?hassle-free?extra dish or two when you have guests coming over.

I will post recipes while I perform the experiments. If they go well, you will know it is safe. If some of them go ?awry, you will know what to avoid. Here's to cuisson lente.
