Re: crock pot recipe ideas
Mon, January 26, 2009 - 4:34 AMwith all the cold weather we've been having in the north east, i've been on a major crock pot kick lately. i've made several different soups that came out really well. not all of them were specifically crock pot recipes, but i let them simmer over night in the pot & then put the mix in the blender the next morning & they came out great
this is the original: www.andreasrecipes.com/2009/0...veaway/
and this is how i did it in the crock pot: raposaskitchen.blogspot.com/2009....html
this is a Cuban Black Bean soup that is fantasti & is for the crock pot: soup.betterrecipes.com/cuban-...up.html
i did this lemon spinach one in the crock pot too & it came out great. it has a unique flavor. soup.betterrecipes.com/spinac...st.html -

Re: crock pot recipe ideas
Thu, March 12, 2009 - 8:31 AMI use my crock pot to make good veggie broth, that I then freeze.
I keep a plastic container in the freezer and whenever I cook I throw all my peels and tops and skins in the bag. (Leave out all the nightshades, except potato skins, and avoid the cabbage/broccoli family, especially the red colored cabbage.)
Once I get the bag filled with 2 or 3 big handfuls of frozen vegetable matter, I throw it in the crock pot with sufficient water to cover it by an inch or two before I go to bed. In the morning I have a nice broth that can be strained and turned into soup for that night's dinner...or can be frozen. -

Thu, March 12, 2009 - 9:01 AMOut of curiosity, what's the reasoning behind leaving out nightshades/broccoli/cabbage? -

Re: crock pot recipe ideas
Thu, March 12, 2009 - 9:20 AMthe nightshades...peppers, eggplant...make it bitter.
the broccoli and cabbage (the group name escapes me at the moment) make the broth taste sort of rubbery and unpleasant.
All of these things can be added to soups...just not for the long cooking process of making broth. -

The cruciferous vegetables :-) -

Re: crock pot recipe ideas
Thu, March 12, 2009 - 10:18 AMCool. Thanks for the responses. I tend to leave these things in when i freeze my veggie parts. I guess that's why my broth has fallen short of my expectations! -

I tend to leave out the broccoli until 20-30 minutes before serving. Any longer and I've found that it basically turns to green, flavorless mush - even on a 'low' temperature setting.
Anyone else have this problem? -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: crock pot recipe ideas
Thu, March 12, 2009 - 12:16 PMSure. I don't do crock pots but when I'm making a stove-top stew or saucy dish I only add brocco after taking the pot off the heat. It's pretty rare on the first day but it makes for non-mushy leftovers.

Mon, June 22, 2009 - 8:40 AMOf course you can try other recipe ideas using crock pot, you can try appetizers like Apple Sausage with Onion and Mustard Sauce, or Cheese Artichoke Deep. You just have to be inventive, and try some research....it helps a lot. Or you can visit friendseat.com for more ideas.
All the best,
