WELCOME

Welcome to this slow cooker/crockpot blog. I believe slow cookers are the best thing to happen to modern day cooks. I used mine often when I worked outside the home and continue to do so even in retirement. It is so nice to put food on and forget about it. Slow cookers also allow us to cook many things we would normally have to use the oven for; what a relief in hot Texas weather! Some of these recipes are mine, many are ones I have collected over the years.

RISI BISI

1 1/2 cups converted long-grain white rice
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cans (14.5-oz each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup water
3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts for garnish, optional

Combine rice, onion, and garlic in the slow cooker.

Bring broth and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir the boiling liquid and spices into the rice mixture in the cooker. Place lid on cooker and cook on low 2 to 3 hours or until the liquid is absorbed.

Add peas, replace cover and cook another hour.

Stir in the cheese.

Spoon rice into serving bowls and sprinkle with the pine nuts, if using.
