Recipe Notes:
Once meat, herbs and garlic are added into the pot, bring to a simmer, cover with lid and turn heat to low, gently simmer for 2 hours. Check every 30 minutes to stir and add additional broth if needed to keep the meat covered in liquid. 
Remove the lid and cook an additional 45 minutes to an hour to allow the sauce to reduce, meat should be tender.
