I thought I share my first ever slow cooker experience with you. Some time ago a got a slow cooker from a dear friend who wasn’t using it and today I have finally tried it for the first time. Luckily my family thought it was a success and ask for the experience to be repeated so I made some quick notes on how I made the stew and here they are:
Add:
1 swede (700g)
5 carrots (400g)
2 parsnip (200g)
1 sweet potato (400g)
2 large potatoes (400g)
Then add on top:
1 fennel
1 large onion
1 leak
2 bay leaves
Pour over enough vegetable stock to just about cover the vegetables, approximately 2.5 litres.
Add salt, pepper & dried parsley
Now cook on medium/standard slow cooker setting for 6 hours.
After 6 hours take out the bay leaves, stir the stew and if you like mix in a little garden lovage.
Serve with fresh whole meal bread. Enjoy!
