Crockpot Dishes
34 recipesFor those of us with busy schedules who still want a hot kosher meal on the table. Set it in the morning, come home to dinner — and many of these are perfect for Shabbat, going on before sundown on Friday.
What is it about putting things in the crockpot that make them seem more wholesome? This definitely does not need to be done in the crockpot. The only advantage is that it's ready whenever... and well, it seems more wholesome.
I made this recipe one Sunday when the shabbos dinner from the Friday before didn't come out so well (the chicken was gamey and a little dry). You would not know the nature of the chicken's first incarnation... so don't be afraid to use baked chicken that has a very different seasoning style - it will be overwhelmed by the curry. Also, the rice comes out very mushy, but it's good. Overall the dish reminds me of navratan korma in flavor.
I live on the west coast (USA). In practical terms, this means I can go into any grocery store and buy taro root and bok choy, but so help me if I want okra. Even kosher organic skinless boneless chicken isn't that hard to come by. (Thank you Trader Joe's®!) This recipe is what happens when I get fed up looking for ingredients for a more traditional stew out of the Rival Crock-pot® cookbook and run with whatever's out there. It's pretty good! If you like taro root and want to use more of it, substitute out potatoes by weight. Taro is a root vegetable that is common to oceanic cuisines around the world. You may be more familiar with it as a gourmet "potato" chip.
