Hello everyone,
So this morning I am cooking on my slow cooker (some pork belly strips on that I have been wanting to use for ages). I have looked at different recipies and didn't really find anything that was what I was looking for or had a load of ingreadents I don't have (and it being a lazy sunday morning I didn't want to go to the shops).
So in a moment of crazyness, perhaps caused by the smooth jazz in the background, the excitment of having one of my favorite cuts of pork or the fact I was already on my 3rd strong coffie of the day I decided to mix things up mix and match my favorite things and try something new.
I have put some carrots, potatos, red onion and garlic in the bottom of the slow cooker, placed the pork slices ontop with salt pepper and a mixture of spices covering them ontop. As for the liquid I addded some apple juice (I saw that in a recipe) and some cider vinegar and have put it on a low heat.
Now my question is how much liquid do I need? (I have only used the slow cooker for stews and things so this is a bit new) the veg and meat comes to about 2/3 of the way up the slow cooker. Should I make sure the liquid is covering the veg or is a bit of liquid ok?
Thank you
Nick
