A gift from a friend from the foodie paradise that is Tasmania inspired my latest slow cooker dish. A beautifully bottled chutney of tomatoes and capsicum, rich and red, got me cooking!
I'd also bought a lovely lot of mushrooms that week and had half a jar of roasted capsicums that needed to be put to good use. So, I thought I'd make a nice chicken stew to enjoy with a friend for a cosy Sunday night supper.
Here's what went into the preheated slow cooker...
Some diced garlic
A sliced red onion
Three or four diced chicken thigh fillets
Half a jar of roast capsicum
A few handfuls of sliced mushrooms
Three diced fresh tomatoes
The fabulous bottle of chutney
A little hot water from the kettle
Half a packet of French onion soup (or some chicken stock)
I had the slow cooker on for about 7-8 hours and served the stew over fluffy white rice in deep bowls. A great way to end the week - and have a couple of meals ready for the week ahead, too!
Three girls. Three slow cookers. One common appetite for culinary adventures! Three Slow Cookers was born over dinner one evening. Cardamon, Paprika and Saffron were sharing a lovely slow cooked meal, and wondered how they could discover more about the wonders of slow cooking. Paprika suggested: “ A blog!”. Cardamon and Saffron agreed: “Yes!”. And the rest, as they say, is blogging history. Enjoy!
