Nothing beats coming home to a house that has smelled of food for hours. In the morning, put everything in the crockpot, put the lid on, and just go about your day for the rest of the day. We have lined up ten favorites for you, from rendang and beef stew to a sweet apple-pear compote. Grab your crockpot and get started.
Pulled pork with apple from the crockpot
Are people coming over for dinner? Put a large dish of pulled pork on the table, with buns and a bowl of coleslaw, and let everyone serve themselves. The apple and cider make it fresh and slightly sweet.
Rendang from the crockpot
Rendang turns any grey day into a celebration. You turn it on in the morning and your house smells of lemongrass, ginger and coconut all day long.
Beef stew with Leffe and Dutch spiced biscuit
Grandma stood at the stove for an afternoon, while we went for a nice walk. Dark, sweet and slightly sour, with meat that falls apart by itself.
Pumpkin-lentil soup with ginger
Pumpkin season is soup season. The red lentils make this vegetarian soup thick and creamy, and with a piece of bread on the side you have a complete meal.
Veggie curry with chickpeas and sweet potato
Tired when you get home? Then you only need to cook rice, because this creamy, slightly spicy curry has been simmering for hours. No one will miss the meat here, promised.
Chicken tikka masala from the crockpot
Put your phone away, there is no need to order in tonight. Chicken thighs in a creamy tomato sauce with warm spices, which are still nice and juicy after hours of cooking.
Oxtail in red wine
A lazy Sunday with rain against the window, oxtail needs nothing more. The meat falls off the bone and the sauce becomes rich and sticky.
Mexican chicken for tacos
Taco night is the coziest night of the week. Put the pan of shredded chicken in the middle, the bowls around it, and let everyone build their own taco.
Beef stroganoff from the crockpot
Cold evening? A large plate with tender strips of beef, mushrooms and a generous dollop of sour cream, a blanket on the couch, and you will get through the winter.
Apple-pear compote with cinnamon
Forget that scented candle: within an hour your whole house will smell of cinnamon and warm fruit. Peel the fruit, put everything in the pot, put the lid on and you are done.
Ten recipes, one crockpot. Which one will you turn on first?
