Review:
The sauce was a little runny for my taste. I’ll thicken it up next time by adding less broth and adding more tomato paste. Other than it being runny it was really good. Next time I’ll probably add some green pepper and maybe some grated zucchini in with the other veggies. 4 stars.
Needs Onions prepared with the beef before adding to the crock. I reduced the beef broth to 1/4 cup and drained about 1/4 cup of the tomatoes off before adding. Nice and thick, sweet and tasty. I have used this same recipe on the stove top, simmering for about 45 minutes.
A shallot is not a green onion, it is a cousin of an onion that is smaller, and usually purplish color. It has a very mild flavor and I love to use them!
Actually – Green onions also go by the name scallions – not shallot. A shallot is a small onion about the size of a bulb of garlic. It has a reddish-brownish outer later that can be peeled off like a regular onion.
