Tip

This recipe can also be cooked in a slow cooker.

For best results use a pot on the stove and follow the recipe above up until the tomatoes and water are added. At that point transfer all ingredients into the slow cooker and cook as per instructions on the slow cooker.

You could also place all ingredients into the slow cooker from the beginning and cook, however the flavour won't be quite as rich.
