The moral of this slow cooking lark ...


is that it allows you to make the most of the time you've got. If you're in your kitchen anyway why not spend an extra five minutes and slow cook either the chicken fillet or pork loin steaks and stock your freezer. It may not seem like much at the time but you might change your mind in the middle of a working week when you're worn to a frazzle and can't string a sentence together, let alone split an atom and create a meal.

The sauces given with the chicken and the pork are quick, easy and tasty - both can be made ahead and fridged.

These recipes are not set in stone – they are only a guide - not a rigid set of rules. If you have your own favourite sauces then brilliant. I'm just trying to give you an idea or two that might inspire your own creation or an old favourite that you'd forgotten.

Having ready cooked protein in your ATC will enable you to pull together your own home-cooked meals quickly – what's not to love. If you think ahead and take advantage of the deals out there you'll save even more dosh.

If it moves I freeze it – an example –a I have chicken that I slow cooked and stripped. I have the liquid gold too (the stock). Last week I bought a ham hock that I didn't have time to slow cook. Gary – my lovely local butcher – confirmed I could freeze it and cook when I had more time. I have friends coming for lunch soon. Their favourite pie is chicken and ham.

I rest my case.
