  • I dont have a pressure cooker but this looks good and I’d like to try it, is there an alternative cooking method?


    • I’m sure you could alternatively slow cook the dish, in a pot that can go on the stove then in the oven for a couple hours at 160. Before I got the pressure cooker I used to adapt recipes like this… Just have to be a bit more organised and get it on early!



      • thankyou for sharing this method. it will be so helpful to people like me who want to make it but have no guide to cooking times etc. i would just wing it otherwise.
