It has been a very long time since I used my slow cooker, in fact the last time I used it was August 2008 when I cooked my last omni meal. I remember that I made a beef red curry in it & ate it & felt so sick afterwards that I went vegan the next day, I had been planning on going vegan at some stage but thought that I might ease my way into it but this meal pushed me over the edge & I went vegan straight away.
So, somewhat ironically when I decided to dust off the slow cooker again I chose to make a mock beef red curry with some 'beef' chunks that I had bought at Minh Phat. This was yum. Even though I am not working at the moment & it is nice to have food prepared of an evening & not have to do to much besides cook some rice in the rice cooker (which Greg did anyway so all I had to do was serve).
My very simple & not very authentic curry recipe
- 2 tbsp red curry paste ( I bought mine from Aldi)
- Can light coconut milk
- Mock beef chunks
- Cauliflower florets
- Green beans topped & tailed
- Peeled potatoes cut into chunks
- Half a huge eggplant diced
- 1 onion sliced
Put it all in the slow cooker & cook for around 7 hours & then serve over rice - easy!
Next time I make it I won't use cauliflower though because it went really mushy, all the other vegies came out beautifully though, especially the eggplant so I am now looking at other eggplant slow cooker recipes.
