Heat a small frying pan, add the chorizo and vegetables and cook for 10 minutes, over a medium heat, stirring until the squash is golden. Place all the ingredients in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8–9 hours, then use a spoon to break up some of the potatoes into the sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using.

About 15 minutes before the end of the cooking time, chop the reserved pepper, squash and chorizo into small pieces. If you prefer a smooth soup, blend the mixture with a hand blender (far safer than using a food processor).

Don’t miss Head Pastry Chef at Ballymaloe House, JR’s Ryall’s ‘Classic Ballymaloe Desserts’ cookery demonstration at Waterman House in Belfast on Saturday, 25th March 2023. Roughly chop the squash and peppers, reserving a quarter of the pepper and about 75g of the squash. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over a medium heat in a large pan. Add the squash, peppers, celery, onions, garlic and potato and leave to soften, loosely covered, for 10 minutes. What’s it about?: Making meals in a slow cooker will not only save you plenty of hassle in the kitchen, it’ll save you money too. This nifty piece of kitchen kit uses far less energy than an oven or hob, making it the appliance of choice for budget-conscious cooks. Nathan has become a go-to source of inspiration for what to make in a slow cooker and his debut cookbook is a treasure trove of ideas for every day of the week. The 80 calorie-counted recipes include pasta, risotto, curries and healthy versions of your favourite takeaways, all of which leave the hard work to the slow cooker while you get on with your day. With simple methods and easy-to-find ingredients, this is a perfect accompaniment for the chef looking to expand their repertoire of slow cooker recipes. Garnish with the extra Parmesan and parsley and serve. I love this with some steamed green beans on the side. It’s also worth noting that slow cookers use significantly less electricity than regular ovens and hobs, a not insignificant fact, in the midst of this cost-of-living crisis.

Place all the ingredients, except the Parmesan and breadcrumbs, in the slow cooker, stir and season to taste. Cook on low for 1 hour 20 minutes. Stir well, add the Parmesan and a little extra milk if it needs loosening up, then cook for another 20-25 minutes. The book is flying off the shelves and bringing joy and fun to the many who feel they are just too busy to cook. Bravo, Nathan!A lot of the recipes in this book can also be made in a traditional oven or stove top if you have more time.
