Seasonal cooking Tips & Tricks

Autumn vegetables
The markets are overflowing with pumpkins, parsnips, carrots, potatoes and apples. These ingredients are crying out to be incorporated into heart-warming dishes that you can simmer slowly in your slow-cooker. As the smells of stewed meat, herbs and vegetables waft through your home, all you have to do is relax and enjoy.

Why the slow cooker and soup maker are perfect for fall
The slow-cooker and soup maker are essential in your kitchen. The convenience of throwing everything into one pot and letting the appliance do the rest is ideal for busy fall days. The slow cooking process of the slow-cooker allows flavors to fully develop, resulting in rich, deep flavors that are perfect for the cozy atmosphere of autumn. Plus, slow-cooker dishes are often hearty and full of nutrients, which is exactly what you need during the colder months.

Delicious fall dishes for your slow cooker or soup maker
Here are a few tasty fall dishes that you can easily prepare in your slow-cooker or soup maker:

1. Pumpkin Soup with Coconut Milk and Ginger from the soup maker.
Pumpkin is the ultimate autumn ingredient, and this soup is both warming and nutritious. The sweet taste of pumpkin combines perfectly with the creamy coconut milk and tangy ginger.
Ingredients
- 400 gr pumpkin
- 1 small onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3-4 cm ginger
- 500 ml vegetable stock
- 250 ml coconut milk

Put the pumpkin, onion, garlic, ginger and vegetable broth in the soup maker and press the “smooth soup” function. When the soup is ready add a little coconut milk for a silky smooth texture. Serve with a crusty piece of bread for the ultimate fall meal.

2. Beef Stew and Seasonal Vegetables.
Nothing says autumn more than a rich stew. Use tender pieces of beef, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onion and mushrooms. Add a rich beef stock, along with a few sprigs of thyme and bay leaves. Simmer on low in the slow cooker for at least 8 hours, allowing the meat to become meltingly tender and the flavors to blend into a delectable dish.

3. Apple Crumble
The slow cooker is also ideal for desserts! Try a classic apple crumble: peel and slice a few apples, mix them with cinnamon, sugar and a little lemon juice. For the crumble topping, mix oatmeal, flour, butter and brown sugar until crumbly. Put the apples in the bottom of the slow-cooker and cover with the topping. Cook for a few hours until the apples are soft and the topping is crisp. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a scoop of whipped cream.

Tips for using your slow cooker or soup maker in the fall
1.    Preparation is everything: Cut your vegetables and meat the night before so you can quickly put everything in the slow-cooker or soup maker in the morning.
2.    Experiment with spices: Fall calls for warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and thyme. These not only add flavor, but also fill your home with wonderful scents.
3.    Cook larger quantities in your slow-cooker: Slow-cooker dishes are often even tastier the next day. So cook larger quantities and enjoy your meal again the next day, or freeze some for later.
