Prepare your ingredients, and let the slow cooker do the rest!
I used to always serve this dish with rice, but recently I developed a way to cook noodles in the slow cooker along with the sauce, making it an ideal one-pot meal and perfect for prepping those weekday lunches ahead of time. If you’d prefer to serve it with rice, just leave out the noodles and stock. This lean recipe uses reduced-fat coconut milk and no oil.

I don’t remember much about the circumstances of my first cherry clafoutis. But I must have loved the classic French farmhouse dessert, because I’ve been trying to reproduce that first custardy, almond-scented pancake ever since.
‘I always think that canapés should box slightly above their weight – in other words, they need to be vividly flavoured to succeed. Here, the combination of crisp brioche, salty feta, pickled walnuts, figs, honey and thyme is just that. If you like, there’s a recipe for pickling your own green walnuts on page 275 of Rick Stein’s Christmas. You can also make this with slices of goat’s cheese from a log instead of the whipped feta.’
While I’ve always been a fan of the old camp song “On Top of Spaghetti,” I firmly believe that’s the very last place a meatball belongs.
