I check out the old cupboard and espy the following: 1 large jar of tomato and Portobello mushroom sauce. Hmmm.....the plot thickens.....next the fridge...show me......FAT FREE SOUR CREAM!!! YESSSS!!! And the crowd goes wild!! Now...to a different cupboard (are you on the edge of your seat or what??)squinting at tins of bobble and squeek (kidding, it's just fun to say) lo and behold a tin of sliced mushrooms! Oh my Lovelies, we are COOKING WITH GAS NOW BABY! I of course have chicken thighs - what can I say, I'm a dark meat girl - so I break out the slow cooker and we begin. For those of you who keep your shoes in your stove pay attention...this is EASY BREEZY BEAUTIFUL COVER GIRL STUFF! I toss the thighs in (literally as I enjoy the sound they make when hitting the pot), pour the tomato sauce on top, dump a large container of sour cream (fat free my little puddins) liberally sprinkle Cayenne pepper, add about ohhhhh 5 or 6 cloves of chopped garlic along with the tin of shrooms and Fanny's your aunt!
Not being one of the more patient people I know I always opt for the HIGH setting and 4 to 6 hours depending on what's cooking. Well it cooked for 4 hours on high, then an hour on low and believe me when I say.....DECADENT!!! Folks it was Gypsy Party Food to the max! And LOW LOW LOW cal! I cooked some Smart Pasta (go organic or whole wheat if you can dig it), pretty good fat content and doesn't remotely taste like ass. Kept the portion set at 'reasonable' and had a bloody fabulous dinner! Besides, this meal fills you UP! You're not wanting giant heaps anyhow!
I leave you with this. Hungry?
