This new recipe went down a treat for dinner tonight! These pork carnitas are delicious and were dead easy because they were done in the old favourite slow cooker!

Ingredients:
3lbs pork loin
1 bay leaf
2tbsp chilli powder
2 tsp ground cumin
1tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1tsp onion powder
1tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
350ml water

Method:
Mix the herbs and spices together and rub the entire pork loin with them,
Place the pork in the slow cooker,
Add the bay leaf and the water,
Cook on low for 6-8 hours🍴
Serve in wholemeal or corn wraps with your choice of salad.
I added fresh avocado too and a fabulous, quick and easy coriander and lime sauce made with plain, fat-free greek yoghurt. Delish!

Slow Cooker Turkey Chilli

I tried this new recipe with turkey mince the other day and it went down a storm with the fam!

I love it because it's a slow cooker recipe and it's sooooo simple. Literally stick everything in the pot, switch it on and 4 hours later 'Hey Presto!' a one pot, hearty clean meal for the whole family. To start with I was worried that this wouldn't feed 4 people, but I was wrong! Make a note peeps, it doesn't happen often :)

It can be as hot or as mild as you want depending on what chilli powder you use.

And, it's a cheap one too. Top marks for tasty, filling, clean eating on a budget.

 

Go and make it.....
