The recipes also uses common ingredients, so anyone can make this! I'm sure it would work great in a slow cooker as well. Enjoy! :) (I'm not going to write out organic in front of every word, but I'm assuming you will use organic products where you can)...

    Make sure your worcestershire sauce is vegan-- some varieties contain anchovies.
