accompaniments to keep it interesting for the family. This is one of those great busy family recipes - it can be prepared the night before - saves time in the morning, while still letting you serve a tasty, easy slow cooker dinner when you get home at the end of the day. Gotta love that!
Pork, Ginger and Apricot Cassorole
Serves 6
Cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours
1 kg pork pieces
1 onion peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic peeled and crushed
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup chicken stock
2 Tbsp tomato sauce
2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 tsp chopped basil ( or 1/4 tspn dried )
2 Tbsp vinegar
freshly ground salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped red pepper
To Cook: Save time in the morning, prepare into a ziplock bag the night before and put on a plate in the fridge, pour contents of bag in room temperature crock pot and remember to turn it on before you dash out the door! Otherwise, just throw everthing into crockpot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. Thicken 30 minutes before serving.
To thicken: Mix 2 Tbsp cornflour with 1/4 cup water.
To serve: Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley; with rice and a green salad or new potatoes and steamed spinach.
Tip: Adding a little more ginger, the fresh basil (if using) and red peppers an hour out from serving preserves the taste of the herbs and the colour and shape of the peppers. If you are going to do this extra step, check and adjust your seasonings at this step to. Enjoy!
