SLOW COOKER JOINT

 

SLOW COOKER JOINT 

Syn Free

Joint of meat to fit size of slow cooker.

If preferred, you can brown the joint on all sides in a frying pan, before adding to the slow cooker. I tend to just put my joint into the s.c. without browning.
You can also put veg into the base of the s.c. if you like or just put the joint in on its own.
Leave the joint to cook on Low for 8-10 hours, without adding any liquid. I found this a bit worrying at first but it really doesn't need any liquid and, this way, it just cooks in its own juices.
I tend to take any veg out about 40 minutes before the meal is ready, put it in a roasting tray with some rosemary and crushed garlic, give it a good spray with Frylight and let it continue to cook through.
Just let the joint 'rest', covered with foil, for about 20 minutes before serving.

29.10.13 - Cooked a small joint of brisket yesterday, absolutely on its own (not even any veg, and definitely no liquid), didn't brown before adding to the slow cooker and cooked on Low for just 6 hours, as it was only big enough for two. This time, I scrunched two balls of foil to stand the joint on in the base of the cooker and that was it. It was really tasty and tender!
