** This Competition has now finished, thank you to all who participated! **
The two lucky winners for this competition were: Jenny Swift and Vanessa Harbour
This month we were very happy to receive The Australian Women’s Weekly more Slow Cooking cookbook to make a couple of their recipes in our Slow Cooker. We decided to try:
- Jerk-Spiced Chicken Drumsticks
- Croissant Custard Pudding with Strawberries
This was my first time trying Jerk-Spiced Chicken and I have to say, I'm converted. This recipe is not only easy to make, but the spices are really what make this recipe so great. The best part about this dish is that once you make a large batch, it will last several nights, and you can serve it over a bed of mashed potatoes, rice, or even polenta.
Now, when the Kambrook team spotted the Croissant Custard Pudding with Strawberries, we knew this was a must. How could anyone really pass this recipe.
So, I'm sure you're wanting the Recipes, and here they are:
