Wintertime Recipes for the Slow-Cooker Obsessed
With even LA feeling wintery with all the rain, and cold sweeping the rest of the country, we’re craving something warm and long-simmered; around here, that usually means it’s crockpot time. And we just discovered kind of a game-changer in the crockpot department: The Fagor multi-cooker is not only a crockpot, but also a pressure cooker, rice cooker, and yogurt maker. We’re more than a little obsessed, and the result is (so far) three cozy crockpot dishes–a soup, a stew, and an incredibly flavorful Thai curry chicken thigh recipe. All are easy, comforting, and best of all, ready when you get home.
Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Thighs
Chicken and rice—what could be more comforting? This version has the added oomph of Thai-inspired ingredients: fresh mint and cilantro, golden turmeric, tart lime juice, and the umami powerhouse that is fish sauce!
Slow Cooker Cannellini, Farro, and Spinach Stew
This hearty and versatile stew, inspired by the Italian soup pasta e fagioli, makes an equally delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Slow Cooker Albondigas
While this slow cooker recipe is a little heavier on the prep side, we think it adds a ton of depth and dimension that you sometimes lose with the “set it and forget it” type recipes. It’s worth it—we promise!
