Add mirepoix to pot, add salt and cook 5 – 7 minutes. Add as much garlic as you like and cook until aromatic, about 30 to 60 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deglaze pot with a wee bit of chicken stock. Then place meat into pot.

Cover and place into oven. Turn meat every 30 minutes.

After three hours, add vegetables.

After four hours, out of the oven.

Remove meat to a plate, cover with foil and let rest.

Remove vegetables to serving plate.

Strain liquid and return to pot. Boil down to make sauce. Add some red wine if you would like.

Slice meat into about ½ inch thick slices and arrange on serving plate with vegetables. Pour some of the sauce on top and the rest of the sauce in a serving dish.

You can add some chopped parsley and tomatoes for color.
