Slow Cooker Ale & Skirt Casserole

15 January 2012 3 comments

I really did think that Gary from Norfolk Deli was winding me up when he said Beef Skirt as I’d never heard of it. I thought he was hoping I’d go to the shops and ask for it, similar to glass hammers, skirting board ladders etc. However, I’ve now learned that it’s a great cut [...]

Thanks to Martin (@martindale52) for sharing his most recent Chilli recipe. He’s been using a slow cooker for years and is much more confident than me and loves to wing it.

Thanks to the lovely Victoria Roberts (@starPS) who shared this slow cooker recipe with me.

This recipe originated from the BBC Good Food 101 Slow cooker favourites but I didn’t have any sloe gin and my neighbour kindly offered me some Damson Gin. I’ve never seen a Sloe berry or Damson, but according to Google ‘Damsons are about twice the size of sloes and usually sweet enough to eat, like [...]

I was sent an amazing selection of haddock and smoked salmon from John Milne from Delish Fish, as part of the Fish is the Dish campaign to encourage families to eat more fish from sustainable stocks. They also sent a recipe for Kedgeree but, me being me, my first challenge was to figure out how [...]

I made the most amazing Chilli earlier this week, if I do say so myself. I’d love to post the recipe but I can’t as I lifted it straight out Sarah Lewis’ 200 More Slow Cooker recipes. However, I think I’ve cracked her secret…Dark Chocolate and Dark Muscovado Sugar. I know it sounds insane adding [...]
