- Once the meat is browned, transfer to the slow-cooker and soften the onions in the wok, adding the crushed garlic for the last minute or so
- Add the wine to the wok and deglaze well.
- Pour the resulting liquid into the slow-cooker
- Pour over the chicken stock, add the crushed caraway seeds , paprika, chilli powder, tomatoes and spicy sausage.
- Top up with just hot water to cover
- Slow cook on low for 8 hours, it won't hurt to stir it every few hours if you are able
- As with the stirring, if you can, add the green pepper strips an hour before the end of the cooking time, as they will retain a little bite. If you can't, then add them at the start.
