8 Slow Cooker Recipes to Try this Month

It’s that time of year again, where the weather is at its coldest and the sky is at its greyest. Sob. But that just gives us more excuses to cosy up at home with a meal to warm the old cockles.

If you’re looking for a hearty tea-time treat to lift your spirits but you’re too busy or tired to spend much time in the kitchen, then you’ve come to the right place. Got a slow cooker to hand? Then read on for eight warming (and delicious) one-pot meals you should try out this month.

Malaysian Beef Curry

There’s nothing more classic than beef stew, but if you’re looking for a ‘beefed’ up version, Delicious Magazine’s recipe adds a Malaysian twist to things by throwing in a number of flavourful ingredients, including cardamom, coconut milk, kaffir leaves and anise.

This curry recipe is sure to take your taste buds on a journey, as some of the ingredients (such as the kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce) will require you to visit an Asian food store or visit the world food aisle of your local supermarket. Raid your spice cupboard…things are about to get tasty!

Vegetable Lasagne

This vegetable lasagne recipe by BBC Good Food is packed with hearty, wholesome ingredients for a low-calorie (but still delicious) meal. Layer pasta, ratatouille, vegetarian mozzarella and sliced aubergine to create a truly eye-catching dish that will nonetheless fill you up and have you wanting seconds. This easy recipe serves four and is a perfect vegetarian alternative to meat lasagne.

Lamb and Potato Torte

Tenderised lamb and flavourful potatoes bake together in this great torte recipe by UK TV’s Good Food.
