If you love low and slow cooking but are growing bored with your old standards, perhaps it's time to expand your borders. 

Below, you'll find a few of our favorite international dishes perfect for low-temperature cooking. Pick one that looks like a good option and give it a shot. 

4 Mouthwatering Low-Temperature International Dishes

Slow Cooker Chicken Congee

Savory rice porridge is a breakfast staple around the continent of Asia. In China, this dish is known as congee. Cooked low and slow for eight hours, congee is best prepared the night before and left to simmer while you sleep. Wake up, lift the lid, dish into bowls, and top with your favorite flavorful toppings. 

Ratatouille in the Crock Pot

This classic French dish, known for being somewhat labor-intensive, is simplified in this crockpot version from Food. Slice the ingredients, layer them into the pot, and sit back to enjoy the nine-hour cook time. 

Jamaican Oxtail

Though they can be prepared either in a pressure cooker or a slow cooker, we prefer the low and slow method. Combined with herbs and spices before being cooked on low heat for eight to ten hours, the delicious meat of the oxtail simply falls off the bone.

Turmeric Brisket with Grilled Leek and Dukkah 

This recipe, by chef Roy Ner of Nour, combines international flavors with the ease of slow cooking. You'll need some special tools for this one, not to mention some specific herbs and spices, but we trust the extra efforts will reward you with a meal worth the work.
