    Notes

    - You MUST cook this recipe for several hours to infuse the flavors… if you taster the liquid too early in the process it will not be very appealing!
    - You may need to top up fluids throughout cooking process
    - This is one of my ALL-TIME *fav* recipes, it is REALLY easy to make and tastes wonderful
    - Serve with mash potatoes or soft polenta
