This morcon recipe looks great! I’d like to try it for a holiday party. Is it possible to cook this in a slow cooker? (as opposed to simmering it for 2hrs on the stove top). If yes, how long do I cook it for? Please advise. And please keep the great recipes coming!!!

My Mom, makes this every xmas, new years, bday, but she pass already, i thought there’s no way i can make it myself, so i just give up because she makes it so good there’s no one can make it good like she does, but now, thanks to you i now know how to make it step by step, i will try to make it this coming xmas for my inlaws. I did your maja blaca and shiomai for thanks giving and it’s a hit (F.Y.I) I added a lil bit of hoisin sauce on shoimai it’s really good.
