DankNuggs 305 Posted September 30, 2015 Can this be done in a crockpot with the understanding the bacon will be cooked and consumed during the preparation process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,513 Posted September 30, 2015 Do not know. I haven't used a crock. I am sure there is a way to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DankNuggs 305 Posted September 30, 2015 Do not know. I haven't used a crock. I am sure there is a way to do it. Im thinking putting all the ingredients in except the flour and put it on low for 8 hours, then stir in the flour using the bacon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,513 Posted September 30, 2015 You should definitely add the fat/flour mixture towards the end of cooking... It is just a thickening agent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bier Meister 1,513 Posted September 30, 2015 A simple stroganoff: Beef strips: 1 pound; thin pieces sized 1 1/2 inchesChopped shallots or onions: 1/3 cupsSliced mushrooms: 1/2 poundButter: 6 table spoonsNutmeg: 1/8 teaspoonDry or fresh tarragon: 1/2 teaspoonSalt and Pepper: to tasteSour cream or yoghurt: 1 cup (not chilled)Step 1: Melt three table spoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat and adjust the heat to add the thin beef strips cooked till brown.Make sure that the butter should not get burnt. Add some pepper and salt while cooking the strips and after it is done take them in a bowl and keep aside.Step 2: In the same pan, add shallots to cook for a few minutes and then keep them with the meat.Step 3: Now comes the part to cook the mushrooms. Melt another three table spoons of butter in the same skillet and increase the heat adding the mushrooms in the pan.Step 4: Stirring occasionally, cook the mushrooms for at least 4- 6 minutes. while the mushrroms are getting ready, add some tarragon and nutmeg to the mushrooms and lower the flame.Step 5: Now add the sour cream to the cooking mushrooms in the pan.Step 6: If you feel that the sauce needs to be thinned then add a little water (may be two table spoons) to the pan. Make sure the sour cream gets mixed with the mushrooms properly without simmering. Now put the shallots and beef in the pan and add some pepper and salt to it.

Bier Meister 1,513 Posted September 30, 2015 another chicken recipe i like doing... a little quicker than the coq au vin, but similar: 4-6 chicken thighsabout 4 oz sliced criminiabout 2-3 shallots (sliced)3-4 slices of pancetta4 oz chicken broth4 oz white wine ( i used a cali chard and it was fine)italian seasonings - a fw shakes2 oz balsamicdice pancetta (1/4 inch). render and crisp in pan or skillet. set aside. season chicken with s&p. sear (brown both sides). set aside. saute mushrooms and shallots. i acutally covered them for 4-5 minutes then sauted for 4 min. add broth and wine. bring to boil. add chicken back to pan. cover and cook for about 30 min (just want it simmering). when chicken is done, put it aside covered. in the pan, add the balsamic and herbs. reduce to thicken. s&p to taste. serve-> pour over chicken then hit it with the pancetta. we did it with pilaf tonight, but i think a roasted red potato with herbs would have have been great with it.....12-20 red potatoes1/2 stick of butter (melted)herbs of you choice or lawry's or old bayquarter potatoes. place in pot with salted cold water. bring to a boil. cook until they are about 70% done (you want them to hold their form). strain and cool just enough to handle. toss in large bowl with butter and herbs. lay out on sheet tray (cookie tray) roast at 425 until golden and crispy.i have also used these when doing fondue.
