Ruled meat recipe
1· Cut the meat into medium pieces. Then it is marinated with garlic and salt and fried round and round in oil. Sauté the onions, garlic and peppers in that oil, like a ratatouille. Next, it is added to the casserole, where the meat will already be.
2· Cover everything with broth or water, and water it with a splash of strong white wine or brandy. Finally, cook over moderate heat until the meat is soft (not falling apart).
3· Adjust the salt and let it rest for approximately 1 hour.
In many recipe books it is recommended to incorporate some already cooked peas, some small diced potatoes, some pieces of roasted red pepper, etc.
