Preparation

  1. Season meat with salt and pepper. Heat a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then the meat, turning occasionally to brown all sides. Remove to a bowl.
  2. Add vegetables to pot and sauté until just soft. Add wine and cook until reduced by half, scraping up bits from the bottom of the pot. Add chicken stock, tomato puree, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary and porcini. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add meat and collected juices to pot. Cover and gently simmer until reduced by half, about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
  3. Taste for seasoning. Serve with polenta and some freshly grated Parmesan.
