Im looking for something new to season my crockpot ropa vieja. Ive been using Mojo Criollo for the most part, with some adobo and cumin, white onion, some pepperoncini brine. I think it comes out great, just looking for a change of pace.

Anyone have a particularly delicious dal or lentil stew recipe for a slow cooker, or that can be easily adapted to a slow cooker? I'm thinking along the lines of onion, garlic, carrot, celery, potato, chilies, various spices (coriander, turmeric, mustard seed) and maybe a bay leaf. Any other suggestions? Coconut milk? Tomatoes? Should I get red lentils? Chana dal?

Alton Brown's lentil soup recipes is one of my fall and winter staples.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/lentil-soup-recipe/index.html

It can be made vegetarian or not, and I've found that simply switching the type of onion you use (red onion vs sweet onion vs regular "cooking" onion) and the type of lentil really changes the flavor without even putting in anything else, but I don't see why you couldn't add all sorts of stuff to it. It's also not written as a crock pot recipe, but I've made it in the crock before.

Recipes from you US folks... when the recipe calls for (example) canned pureed pumpkin and I instead want to use pureed pumpkin-from-my-garden - is a 16oz can of pumpkin puree 1 lb or 2 cups? A 16oz can filled with pumpkin, or 16 oz of pumpkin fitted into a can?

You should be good with two cups.

I really want to post goatse. Instead I only have these🍄.



They would actually both work. The system is surprisingly flexible in that respect.

I need a good pasta sauce recipe that can be made in bulk with a crockpot and then stored in jars. Doesn't necessarily have to be tomato based. Everytime I make a sauce in the crockpot using some recipe online, it comes out way too watery.

If it's too thick, have you tried reducing it?

Er, Gravity's reply is still the correct answer? "Thin" and "watery" mean the same thing.

That was my point. If something is too thick, you don't want to reduce it more :confused: Gravity said "If it's too thick, have you tried reducing it." This is terrible advice, but I'm pretty sure he typoed "thick" for "thin." :)
