I already go way beyond casseroles, soups and stews with my slow cooker recipes (Pumpkin Pie Steel Cut Oats or Breakfast Banana Bread Pudding anyone?). The slow cooker really is such a versatile piece of equipment if you know how to use it. And it can be used year round for getting quick, delicious meals on the table when time is tight.
1.67/lb) at Meijer several weeks ago. I bought a family pack of western ribs with an even bigger price discount which meant that I could have multiple meals of pulled pork. I froze the meat into 3 pound packages. Our family loves my slow cooker pork carnitas, so I thought I'd give this Medieterranean Pork recipe I try. I first read this recipe on What Megan's Making.
Then drizzle the parsley vinaigrette over everything. Light and flavorful, ready in no time, one pot. Sounds like dinner to me! Combine broth and 2 teaspoons of the garlic in slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine garam marsala with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper. Pat meat dry and rub the garam marsala mixture all over both tenderloins.
Looking for inspiration for comforting slow cooker meals this winter? How about Chicken with Chorizo, Red Wine, and Roasted Peppers, or Turkey Meatloaf with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Mozzarella, or Pork Ribs with Tomato Balsamic Sauce?

The range is eye-opening from simplified and freshened classics like Greek shrimp with tomatoes and feta, to Israeli sweet and sour meatballs, to Moroccan vegetable tagine, to coffee-caramel flan from Spain. But Scicolone also serves up a profusion of fascinating lesser-known dishes: a creamy polenta lasagna, a port-braised chicken from Portugal, a spiced frittata from Tunisia, and Bandit's Lamb, as well as her own seductive creations, like Cannoli Cheesecake.
I made the most delicious, gluten-free roast braised in my slow cooker the other day. It was lean and flavorful and it sliced easily so it was easy to serve. The juices were fragrant with the Mediterranean seasoning and the savory vegetables. And, to top it all off, the sandwiches that I will make from the leftovers will be wonderful… We’ve had this before… Many times!
The green beans and mushrooms round out this dish, and provide a base for the tender chicken thighs. Everything is drenched in the lemony tomato and white wine sauce, which is made even better by it’s long bath in the slow cooker. You can serve this meal all on it’s own, or pair it with pasta or rice to keep it gluten free. A hunk of crusty bread to sop up all the juices is certainly an added bonus, though not required.
