Was quite simple. The meat delicious. My husband snuck in a sprig of rosemary and well, it was nice. We served on rice. If I had to do again I would serve on mashed sweet potato. All in all nice recipe! - 02 Dec 2012
Simple and delicious. Added potatoes and served with polenta. - 02 Sep 2013
Extremely easy to make, very flavoursome, I used a leek instead of onion, simply because I had no onions, I don't think this made much difference. The cooking time was just under five hours on my slow cooker which does not have a low and high setting. I suspect it is in the high range, therefore I would advise anyone with a cooker with a high and low setting to adjust accordingly - 07 May 2016
