Hello LKela! I haven’t tried it without the tomatoes, but I think it could work. In that case, I would suggest adding a cup or so more of stock. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)

Hello Valerie! I’m glad you enjoyed the taste. Thanks so much for trying my recipe and taking the time to come back and let me know.

Hello, I cut the recipe in half. It was tasty but was not so appealing to the eyes. lol
I think that was because it was over cooked.

I am sorry, Estella, but I am not familiar with this cooker.

Hello Estella! Yes, you can cook this recipe over the stove. I would recommend cooking over medium-low heat, covered, for 2-3 hrs, or until the or until the meat falls away from the bone. Thanks for your interest in my recipe. Please come back and let me know how you like it =)

But I do have a energy saving thermal cooker with warmer, this (https://www.takahi.com.sg/products/details/energy-saving-thermal-cooker-with-warmer-size-6-0-litre-2-5-litre). Not sure if I can use the same slow cooker method for this?
