Thai Chicken & Potato Stew (slow cooked)
This is loosely based on a Thai chicken and potato stew from Lonny—a Dutch Indonesian chef. I had no idea just how Thai this recipe he named Alu Che really was (never heard of it) but loved the sound of it and figured it would make a perfect crock pot recipe. Which it did. I made a few changes: instead of a cut-up fryer I used chicken legs. I also…
Crockpot Pizza Potatoes
Oh yeah, this is exactly what you think it is. Combine everything good in this world that you would put on a pizza—tomato sauce, smoked sausage, onion, bell pepper and mozzarella—add your potatoes and let it simmer away. Couldn’t wait to see the reaction on J-man’s face, the biggest pizza lover on the planet, after he took a bite. And with me being the biggest potato lover on the planet, this…
Slow Cooked Apricot Ribs
One of the perks of being a food blogger are the recipes I receive either as comments or in my inbox. It’s something I’m extremely grateful for—people willing to share their family recipes and taking the time to write them down—because many of the dishes I’ve tried and tweaked over the years come from either friends or readers. This basic recipe was emailed to me not long after I posted…
Chicken, Potato & Peanut Stew
It’s been a whopping 101 degrees here. Highly unusual for the Netherlands. Thank God, because our houses are generally not air-conditioned. There was no way I was going to spend a lot of time and energy in my kitchen and I wasn’t about to add any extra warmth by turning the oven on either, so a slow cooker meal it was. Big chunks of potato and chicken that melts on…
Roti Chicken. Crock-Pot Edition.
One of my personal favourites (and probably most googled) recipes is also one of my worst recipes photography-wise: roti chicken. What the heck was I doing there?! Anyway, did you know you can also make this dish in your slow cooker? It’s even easier. I’m also going to be reshooting the parathas as well pretty soon—have a new and improved recipe + technique. But back to the slow cooker recipe,…
The Simple Life
Not in a million years could I have come up with such a novel idea: a crock pot potato soup—my all-time favorite soup—so easy you’ll never have to peel as much as a single potato. An American friend of mine mailed me this recipe and initially I had no idea what to make of it. Probably because we don’t have hash browns here. It’s not part of our food culture, our…
