On Sunday I made up my own recipe and it turned out wonderfully. I have recently stumbled upon a great blog on crock-pot cooking here. Because of this discovery, I have cooked in the crock pot the last three weeks on Sunday, and have plans to make it a tradition. I was looking for a curry recipe on it, but didn’t want any obscure ingredients. I also sent Joe to the store, and he came back with slightly modified ingredients. I ended up just using what I had, throwing it all in the crock pot, and had moderate success.

Here’s the recipe:

2 c. uncooked brown rice

1 sweet potato

4 small potatoes

green pepper

onion

1 can tomatoes, undrained

1 package Golden Curry (easily found in the Asian food section)

5 c water

Peel and or cut veggies. Cook in crock pot on high for 4 hrs.  

I want to try it sometime with chicken or beef, and with different veggies. The potatoes did turn out a little soft in this batch, but otherwise it was quite good. We had tons of leftovers that we still haven’t finished and we’ve been eating it a lot: two people and a full crock pot of food goes a long way. I’m becoming more of a fan of the crock-pot–you put all these raw ingredients in there, come back and there’s delicious food—all without warming up the house.
