My parents gave me a slow cooker for Christmas and I have fallen in love with it! There is nothing better then coming home from a long day of classes to my apartment filled with the smell of homemade chili, beans or soup cooking in my crockpot.
Anyway, the only meat I eat is fish and seafood but I have been reluctant to make anything in the slow cooker using either. (usually I make veggie and bean based items in the pot) It seems to me that fish and seafood would be too delicate to be able to cook succesfully in it. However, lately it's been cold and snowy and I've been wanting to make some nice fish chowder or seafood stew and was thinking of using my slow cooker for it. I dont want to waste good fish/seafood though so I thought I would ask here first.
So my question basically is can one make a good fish or seafood dish using a slow cooker without the fish turning into complete mush? Has anyone here made anything in a slow cooker using fish or seafood? If so, what? (recipes would be nice!) Also, if you have any good vegetable or bean based slow cooker recipes I would love to hear those too! I usually make chili or vegetable stew... any other ideas? Something with lentils maybe?
Thanks in advance!
