Chianti Stewed Meat
Ingredients:
- 1 kg beef
- 2 white onions
- 2 celery ribs
- 2 carrots
- Flour
- Cloves
- 1 rosemary sprig
- 2 sage leaves
- 2 bay leaves
- Red wine to blend
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, pepper
Let's start by cleaning and cutting the onions, celery, and carrots. Heat plenty of oil in a crockpot, with high sides, and then make brown the vegetables over low heat, essential not to make them bitter and to make the oil flavor well.
Add then the meat, which we have previously cut into cubes, and, raising the heat a little, let it brown for a few minutes so that the juices that will make it soft are sealed inside. Add all the seasonings, namely cloves, sage, bay leaf, and rosemary.
Add some flour and toast it, remembering to turn it often in order not to burn it. Add some red wine to blend. Cover with a lid and let cook, over low heat, for about an hour, adding vegetable broth if necessary.
Variations:
- This recipe is in white, if you wanted you could also add some tomato to give a different flavor.
- Boar could also be cooked in the same way, but it needs much more care and, above all, a fundamental initial preparation. But we will talk about this in another episode!
