6 Simple Meal Sensations For Slow Cookers

Slow cookers are really one of those small kitchen appliances that we wonder what we ever did without once we start using them

. There is something about the one-pot meal that really fits the Australian culture and it is derived from so many cultures who have excelled at one dish cooking.

Silverside/Corned Beef with Honey Mustard Sauce Recipe

Silverside, also known as Corned Beef, is a firm Aussie favorite. Many people remember this dish served by their mothers and grandmothers on Sundays instead of a roast but no less delicious.

Depending on your size of slow cooker bowl, choose your piece of meat.

Place it in your cooker with:

1 cup vinegar

cup sugar

1 large onion cut in quarters

1-2 bay leaves

2-3 whole cloves

Only just cover the meat with water and cook in the slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.

Sauce

Reserve I cup of strained cooking liquid from the meat and add:

1 teaspoon mustard (any type, powdered or readymade)

1 tablespoon Honey

cup vinegar

2 teaspoons of cornflour

Combine cooking juice, vinegar, mustard and honey into a small saucepan and bring to boil. Whisk in cornflour bended with 1 teaspoon of water and mix until the sauce thickens. You may need to add a little more if you need a thicker sauce. Taste it and see if you need any more mustard.

Serve over sliced silverside with root and green vegetables.

Garlic Pork Roast

This is an easy recipe that taste fabulous. Choose a lean pork roast or trim the fat off yourself. Boneless is easy to carve. Again the size of the pork will be determined by the size of your cooker. Adjust cooking time for smaller meat.

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

3 cups peeled sweet potato pieces

1 medium onion, sliced

6 cloves garlic, peeled

Deglaze the browning pan with a little stock and pour this over the meat with the rest of the stock. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Serve sweet potato with pork along with your choice of other vegetables.

Olive oil for browning chicken
