Slow Cooker Belly Pork

[Eve]

I thought I'd try this tomorrow. I fancy doing it Chinese style with some dark soy sauce and honey. Does it need much liquid with it?

I thought of doing it with some mushrooms, peppers and spring onion but would the veggies be ok for the same time as the pork.

I left the beef stew in for 9 hours last time, 8 on low and 30 mins high either side but haven't got a set recipe for this.

As I will be out for a few hours I wouldn't want to worry about anything burning or the veggies going soggy.

Also, if I do enough for two meals will it be ok to microwave the night after if left in the fridge?

Any advice welcome.

That does sound nice. Will see if I can scout out a mini bottle of red as I don't drink very much so never really have wine at home. It'll mostly cook off though won't it ;)

The alcohol will, Eve but the taste won't.
You can buy red wine cooking sauce, if you don't want to buy wine.

Ah that's a good idea! Will have to go scout round the shops. Have loads of herbs and bits and bobs here.

The leftovers are gorgeous over pasta!

Have a look at this, Eve.
