Cooking Corner

In this week's Cooking Corner we are getting some serious inspiration from Katie Jewell's new Instagram account full of delicious slow cooking recipes @slowcookmumma

Katie and husband Evan Jewell, Mens PL player, are busy parents of 2 gorgeous young kids, Lily and Harvey.  Katie is about to return to work following parental leave, and is also desperately waiting to hear about a return to playing hockey.  

Back in late March, Katie wrote "after visiting the supermarket today and feeling totally overwhelmed by the limited items on the shelves and the craziness, I decided I would try and help by starting something I have been wanting to do for a while - an Instagram page for tasty, easy and budget friendly slow cooked recipes.

Everyone knows I love my slow cooker so I thought why not share some recipes I have tried and tested.

Warning - they are nothing fancy but they are simple and tasty!"

So head on over for Katie's take on green curry, whatever way you want it to be, butter chicken, beef brisket, chilli con carne, and much more!

Here's the Butter Chicken recipe for you to try.  Bon appetit!

Butter Chicken

Ingredients:

- 3 tbsp butter

- 6-8 boneless chicken thighs

- 1 onion

- Half cauliflower

- 2 tsp garam masala powder

- 1 tsp curry powder

- 1 tsp paprika - 1 tsp cinnamon - 2 tsp garlic

- 2 tsp ginger powder or chopped fresh ginger

- 2 cans diced tomatoes - 1 cup chicken stock

- 2 tbsp salt

- 2 tsp brown sugar

This one is much tastier if you brown the butter, garlic, onion, chicken and ginger before placing in the slow cooker but it is also fine without this step!  Place all ingredients in and cook on low for 8 hours. This can also be done with chicken breast but thighs are tastier when slow cooked.

If you want it creamier you can add in 1/2 cup cream before serving.

Serve on top of rice and with coriander, however I hate coriander so I avoid that part like the plague 🤣
