Sounds great Chrissie. I would love to be able to get myself a wild rabbit, it would slow cook very well. But there are very few in my part of West Wales, sadly.

Probably Chrissie B, but I quite like the idea of being a hunter gatherer. I never buy trout (catch my own) so I feel I need to catch my own rabbit. Really fancy cooking one with some of my home grown veg.

Seems strange that a species which was once numerous in my part of Wales is no conspicuous by its absence!

There are loads in our part of Wales - edge of Snowdonia!

Yep I have a friend who spent a year eating only meat & fish he had caught/killed himself. The rabbits he had from your part of the Wales, and what he made with them was pretty impressive. I was quite envious!

Nice one Chrisse B.
Seared the chicken and softened the  onions, added some carrots and leeks, plus some stock, put it on medium heat and left it to it! Lets see what its like when I get home tonight.

Well it was OK, but on "wow", my stock was a bit watery, however I could not thicken it with flour as my wife is gluten intolerant. However I have some gluten free options which I will use next time. Going to do a curry next week. Its a start.

We all get caught out with that one when we first use a slow cooker.    Dont beat yourself up. It is hard to believe how little stock you need.  Another option to thicken it is to stir in some red lentils or pearl barley for the last half hour or so.  They take up the liquid and dont take long to cook.  Or cornflour in the last 10 minutes - will your wife tolerate that?

[Aled]

Thanks madcat, cornflour is one of the best options. Will add Less fluid next time.
