===Serving suggestions===
Serve with [[Broccoli|broccoli]], [[Cauliflower|cauliflower]] and [[Roast potatoes|roast potatoes]]
===Variations===
If you don't have a [[Slow Cooker|slow cooker]], use a [[Casserole dish|casserole dish]], covered, in an [[Oven|oven]] heated to 120° C (250° F - gas ½), [fan oven [[100]]° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]
===Chef's notes===
I've use some fairly specialised ingredients as I have easy access to them.

Everything in this recipe can be substituted and it will still be great, for example: [[Salt|salt]], [[Pepper|pepper]], [[Beef Stock|beef stock]], [[Oxo cube|oxo cube]], any [[Vinegar|vinegar]], [[White sugar|white sugar]], omit the [[Pig|pig]]'s [[Trotter|trotter]], use [[Beef|beef]] shin, [[Diced|diced]] [[Chuck steak|chuck steak]], [[Beef short ribs|beef short ribs]] or just [[Stewing steak|stewing steak]].
