enjoyed this a lot. made as is- i might decrease the amount of red wine to 3/4 but I might have had a small meat
That sounds delicious! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
This turned out lovely. I didn’t have red onions or carrots so I put some shallots instead. Also put chopped tomatoes and used a hand blender to make the sauce smooth at the end. Served with mash potato and peas. Yummy! Thank you for the recipe.
