- After 2 hours add vegtables and wine.
- Add cooked potatoe to the stew 1/2 an hour before serving so that it takes on the flavour of the stew.
- When the meat is cooked, remove the cloves,bay leaves and thyme as well as much of the fat as possible (better to cool and put in the fidge overnight and then remove all floating fat).
