Got an idea from a private message exchange: We should have a topic where we can post recipes!
So here we go. I'll post the recipes for my recently-made Thai Chicken and Buffalo Barley soups:
Buffalo Barley
Makes about two gallons or 10 servings
Prep Time: 10 hours
Actual Working time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups water
1/2 c. French onion broth in the steri-pak
1.2 c. Trader Joe's ginger soy broth
A few grinds from the pepper mill
1t sea salt
1/2 pound mushrooms, cut in halves
3 Yukon Gold potatoes, cubed
1 grilled red pepper cut in thin strips
2 shallot cloves, peeled, cut in half and the petals plucked and dropped in
1lb. buffalo stew meat
1t black cherry balsamic vinegar
1/2 c pinot noir
1 c. pearl barley
Method:
Put all ingredients in the crock.
Set the slow cooker on low and go do something else for a couple hours.
Come back, stir, walk away again. Repeat every 1.5-2 hours. Soup is done when the vegetables are tender.
Thai Chicken
Makes 2 gallons or 10 servings
Prep Time: 5.5 hours
Actual Work Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups water
1/2 cup low-fat chicken broth
1 tablespoon lemon grass
2 teaspoons Hawai'ian pink salt
1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped
5 basil leaves, torn into smallish bits
1 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 chicken thighs with the skin and bone intact, plus three thigh skins,
Pinch of curry
Method
Mix all ingredients in the crock, set to High and walk away for a few hours.
Come back, stir, take the chicken pieces out and strip the meat from the bones.
Remove the skins, reserve, and you can make broth with them tomorrow. Put the chicken meat back in the pot and simmer for three more hours, for a total of 5-6 hours.
