Slow Cooker Doner Kebab

Another one ticked off my “to cook list” in my head this has always just felt like cooking a giant beefburger which has always put me off making it, because in my eyes a kebab is chicken or lamb.

However, i had minced beef that needed using up and needed a quick recipe so decided to bite the bullet and make a Doner Kebab but as always taking the easy route and popping it in the slow cooker.

This recipe is so easy and will make a fantastic family weekend meal for me what made it even easier is is that it can sit in the fridge once made and still be perfectly fine – i made mine on Friday and didn’t get around to eating it until Monday.

Easiest way to reheat the doner meat is to slice it and then heat on low in a frying pan – i used a grill pan but use whatever is easy for you.

This recipe appears in my cookbook MY SLOW COOKER MEALS Press here for my cookbook MY SLOW COOKER MEALS

Sweet Chilli Prawn Stir Fry

Another fantastic quick lunch idea or evening meal this can be on the plate in under 5 mins and is really tasty.

Use whichever sweet chilli sauce you like 

I didn’t use noodles in this stir fry but i have added a little top tip in the video which stops the noodles from breaking up in the pan plus they cook much quicker this way – just make sure when you take them out of the microwave they are warm and you can easily pull them apart if not microwave for longer.

Cheats Curry

I think lunch ideas are always a difficult one especially if you are on a diet it can turn into salad everyday if you are not careful.

My facebook page tasked me with coming up with some quick and easy ideas hence all these “cheats” that are appearing on my website –  usually from packets and store cupboard staples that are quickly brought together. 

This one is could actually be a fantastic start to the basis of a good fakeaway, add some naan bread, some cooked meats etc and you have an effortless curry without the standing in the kitchen for 4 hours lol.

Cheats Stir Fry

This is a meal i made up very early on in my dieting life 😉 but to be honest its a quick easy meal that really helps use up all those bits at the bottom of the fridge and its really tasty as the little packet of “stuff” that comes with the supernoodles does most of the magic when it comes to packing in flavour. 

It works well as a vegetable dish or you can add any cooked meat you wish or cooked prawns, and if you want to be adventurous you could add more spices a splash of soy sauce….the world is your oyster.

Top tip….try and leave enough sauce when cooking the supernoodles to coat the whole meal if you can.

Slow Cooker Easy Chicken Curry (Schwartz)

This is the easiest curry you will ever make and it can take only 3 minutes to prep and throw it into the slow cooker, obviously if you want to soften down the onions then its going to take longer.

Add whatever vegetables you like fresh or frozen add fresh at the beginning of cooking and frozen last 15 minutes of cooking. This is a versatile curry that works well with anything so play around with it and add whatever you family enjoys.

Sometimes i like to add a tin of chickpeas as they are relatively inexpensive and really help to bulk out the meal especially if you are trying to lower your food costs. A lot of my followers add potatoes during the cooking which then means they don’t need to serve it with rice.

This recipe batch cooks well and freezes well i have made it many many times and it never disappoints.

The slow cooker i use is on my Amazon Shop press here it will take you there then look under kitchen gadgets https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/julesthelazycook
