    No, don't use a rice cooker...that wouldn't work well I don't think...because it has to cook for four hours. I can try to find another recipe, I've never ran into someone that doesn't have a slow cooker :) You should invest in one, they are great!

    Just use a cooking pan, lid firmly shut and hob on the lowest heat.

    yes just your cooking time will be faster, it's about an hour on simmer.

    i love it cooked on the stove with garlic cloves, chicken broth, lots of fresh (or dried would also be
    really flavorful), and whatever veggies you want to throw in there. carrots and greens are great for color.
