Slow cooker...Cauliflower and Tomato Thai Curry

 


I love using my Slow Cooker, it is one of my most used kitchen gadgets!  Also known in the USA at a Crock Pot, or so I believe.  It is just so easy to chuck everything in and walk away for a few hours.... but enough of my blathering, there is nothing worse that having to read loads and loads of story to get to a recipe....  so here it is.

I am absolutely from the school of no (or very little) measuring, so just adapt to your own tastes, you will soon learn to add more or less of things as you free yourself up from the cookery books.


Chuck all of this into your slow cooker....
  • A chopped up cauliflower
  • A couple of handfuls of cherry tomatoes
  • A stalk of lemon grass
  • Fresh or dried chillis (to your taste)
  • Fresh, Lazy or frozen Ginger
  • A carton of Passata
  • A tin of Coconut Milk
  • A tablespoon of peanut butter


Leave it until your cauli is soft (or 'al dente' if you prefer it that way) 3 - 4 hours should do it.


Serve with couscous, rice, pasta, chips, naan.... whatever your chosen accompaniment is  :)

It's also good the next day, microwaved till warm and eaten with toast  (trust me, it works!!)

Try it, let me know what you think.


Baked Gnocchi

  Gnocchi is one of those comfort foods I find.  Stodgy, filling, warming, comforting, delicious! And the best thing is you can buy Gnocchi ...
