A recipe I
came across recently was Campfire stew, a quick and easy meal you cook in the
slow cooker. We have a slow cooker that we very rarely use and I keep saying I
will use it more so when I saw this recipe I just had to try it out, although I
added a few extra ingredients to make it slimming world friendly.
One gammon Joint
Two tins of
baked beans
Two onions
Two cloves of
garlic (crushed)
One red
pepper
Three
potatoes
A few sliced
mushrooms
One
tin/packet chopped tomatoes
Two teaspoons
of tomatoes puree
One or two
teaspoons of mild chilli powder
One or two
teaspoons of mixed herbs
I placed the
gammon joint in the middle of the slow cooker, I then added the beans, chopped
tomatoes and tomato puree around the gammon joint. I peeled and diced all my
vegetables into small chunks and added them to the slow cooker with the crushed
garlic and herbs. Then I give it a stir and cooked on low for 6-8 hours.
I shredded the gammon with a fork and it just fell apart when it was ready to
serve.
We had the
campfire stew with basmati rice and it was nice but I think it would have been
even nicer served with tortilla chips as a nacho topping or on a jacket potato.
You could even serve it in a baguette.
This was a
really quick and simple meal to prepare and it was really tasty with a nice
smoky taste, it did not taste at all like 'diet' food as it was really filling.
