I am discovering through my slow cooker just how much fun it is to cook with spices!!! And it doesn't have to get really spicy or hot, just flavoursome. In the last few weeks I have bought cloves, garam masala, turmeric and cardamom as completely new additions to my pantry (yes, I was very unadventurous before) and it's been such a wonderful learning curve.Today I am making a so-called "Chicken Mole" which has a combination of cloves, cinnamon, cumin, dark chocolate and chilli and I also toasted sesame seeds and all this has gone into the slow cooker with chicken pieces, leeks, capsicum, onions and garlic and stock and canned tomatoes and I really hope it'll be yum! We'll see in about 8 hours time...
