🔥 Cooking Method (simmering – pot)

1️⃣ Lightly sauté the meat in a little olive oil to brown.
2️⃣ Add onion, garlic, bay leaf and (optionally) deglaze with a little wine.
3️⃣ Add water/stock to cover and lower the heat.
4️⃣ Simmer, covered, for 2–2.5 hours, until tender.
5️⃣ Thicken the sauce at the end (lemon/egg-lemon or wine sauce), depending on the recipe.
