COOKING EQUIPMENT
1 Slow Cooker
Turn the cooker on to high heat before starting your preparation, so
the cooker is at the right temperature.
Method
|
|
Use 15g/½oz/1 tbsp of the butter to grease the base
and the sides of the cooking pot. |
|
Slice the potatoes, mushrooms and onions thinly and crush the garlic
cloves. |
|
 |
Heat the oil in the frying pan, add the onions and gently cook for
about 5 minutes until they are see-through.
|
|
Add the garlic and mushrooms to the frying pan and cook for a
further 5 minutes until they are softened. Remove the pan from the
heat and stir in the mixed herbs. |
 |
 |
Spoon half the mushroom mixture into the bottom of
the cooking pot, then arrange half of the potato slices on the
top, season with salt and pepper. |
|
Place the pork chops on top of the potatoes in a single layer, then
pour about half of the stock over just to cover the potatoes to stop
them going brown. |
 |
 |
Repeat the layering of the mushroom mixture and
potatoes finishing with a layer of neatly arranged
overlapping potatoes. |
|
Pour over the remaining stock so as just to cover the potatoes, dot
with the rest of the butter and cover with the lid. xx |
 |
|
Cook the stew on high for 3 - 4 hours or until the
meat and potatoes are tender. |
|
Serve with your lightly cooked favourite vegetables.
