Just cooked this in my electric pressure cooker. Omitted the ham hock (because I didn't have any). Only took 15 mins and its tender and rich. I added 200ml of water so it has extra sauciness to it too.

Does anyone know if this recipe would work in a slow cooker?

Yes I think it would @gottacook. I use mine alot for this kind of thing. I would pop all the ingredients in the slow cooker and leave it on low for 6 hours. I would also add 100ml of water just so it doesn't dry out. You might find the sauce needs thickening just before serving.
