the sediment from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

6. When the wine has almost evaporated, add the bay leaves and tinned tomato. Cook over
medium heat for ± 3 minutes.

the tomato tin with a little of the stock. Add stock. Bring everything up to a gentle simmer
and put into the oven, tightly covered with foil or a lid. Cook for 2 hours until meat is fork
tender.
