Easy
This recipe is very good and easy. The flavours all come together wonderfully: creamy and balanced in the end.
My ancient slow cooker suddenly started smoking in its wiring, so I had to improvise hahah. I used a large calaphon straight sided skillet with a lid, on LOW setting of the stovetop from step 4. It worked wonderfully. I just cut the cooking time back to 2 hours.
