I've moved! + ricotta and black bean stuffed peppers

I HAVE MOVED! I took the leap and switched my blog from Blogger to Wordpress, so this blog can now be found at www.amuse-your-bouche.com - please update your reader! I can now be found on Bloglovin here. I will post the next couple of recipes in both places (Blogger and Wordpress), so unless you want to see them twice, please unsubscribe from this blog and subscribe to the new one instead! Thanks very very much! I hugely appreciate anyone who follows me across to Wordpress.

My Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest accounts are all the same, so only one small change is needed!

Slow cooker tomato sauce

Hello, best sauce I've ever made. It was so good for three reasons - firstly, it tasted amazing. Secondly, it can be used in a million different ways - pizza sauce, spaghetti bolognese, lasagne... (and this recipe actually makes enough for at least two meals). Thirdly, it only took about five minutes of effort, because the slow cooker did all the rest. Winning! (are people still saying that?)

When I dragged myself off the sofa at about midnight after an evening in front of the telly with a beer (or two), the last thing I felt like doing was getting back in the kitchen to fill up the slow cooker. However, about four minutes later it was all done, and I wondered why I'd been so reluctant. I was even more pleased the next morning when my house smelled like Italy and this rich tomato sauce was bubbling away.

The slow cooker is perfect for making tomato sauce. It's one of those things that tastes better the longer you let it simmer. I'll admit, I sometimes resort to using a jar of the premade stuff because I just can't face spending my entire afternoon simmering a pan of sauce for long enough to get it thick rich - and it's never as good if you take too many shortcuts. This version is the best of both worlds - it's been cooked long and slow, so the tomatoes become sweet and flavourful, but it's also barely any more effort than opening a jar. It suits me perfectly.
