Stage 4
The beauty of this recipe is that you can eat it just as it is: a fresh salad of crunchy mushrooms.
Or you can leave it to stand for a good hour or so in the fridge covered with plastic film for a tender salad of marinated mushrooms.
Or, for yet another twist: fry up quickly in a pan, without adding any extra fat, for simple sautéed mushrooms.

Beef braised in reduced red wine
In classic recipes of this kind, the meat is simply cooked in the wine as it comes. This version is different: the red wine is reduced first separately on low heat with herbs, onion and carrot, then the meat is cooked long and slow in this. This method gives the meat a richer, more intense flavour.March 12th 201761 K3.8 3 hours 55 min.
