Personal Notes:
“This is my favorite recipe for company because most of it is done the day before and since the whole dinner is in one pot, it leaves you free to entertain while the stew cooks the last hour. I follow directions through cooking for 2 hours the day before and cool in the fridge overnight. This gives you the opportunity to skim fat off the top, and the flavors of wine and herbs permeate the meat. Finish the directions and the house is filled with wonderful aromas when company arrives.”
