Busy As A Brie
Another episode in the slow cooker diaries! I know that a couple of you actually purchased a slow cooker when I posted my recipe for Slow Cooked Pork so I’m trying to make the appliance useful and not a dusty fixture in your kitchen cabinets.
Here’s the thing… I had an allergy test a few weeks ago and to my utter shock, I found out that I am allergic to soy! For someone that adores tofu and drinks organic soy milk like it’s life’s sustaining power, this was a very sad revelation. By no means am I cutting it from my diet (good news is that I don’t turn into a swollen pumpkin when I eat it) but I suppose I should limit my intake a tad to avoid the small irritations it does cause.
So, there might be a wee more meat in my diet to fill my reduced tofu gap. But as a disclaimer, I try very hard to buy meat that is farmed responsibly, partly because I can’t bear to think of a caged, unhappy animal and partly just because it tastes better! Enjoy this easy, work free recipe!
