^ I'm with you. If necessary I'd have no problem polishing off an entire bottle.

What is this thing of which you speak? "Extra" red wine? I have never heard of this before.

Saute some chopped onions, celery, and carrots until soft. Add a bay leaf, sprig of rosemary, 5-6 whole cloves of garlic (still in skin!) and a cinnamon stick. Sprinkle with a few tablespoons flour and stir. Salt and pepper. Add a couple pounds of chuck beef cut into cubes, cook a couple minutes. Add two big tins of crushed tomatoes and the bottle of wine. Let it cook on low for 3-4 hours or put it in the oven on 300 for that time.

Serve over boiled potatoes or egg noodles.

Its my go-to stew and it gets rave reviews.



Now I have to look up why he puts the garlic in skin-on...

Invite some friends over, but it better be worth their while. Not Gallo or Sutter whatever.

If you can't drink it, invite someone over to help you polish it off.

But why? You can't let loose once?

oops, forgot, add some brown sugar too. To taste, depending how sweet you like dessert syrup.

Pour it in a stainless steel skillet, add cinnamon, nutmeg, and a clove, and reduce until it's a syrup consistency. Store in fridge to put on desserts.

Peel few pears, soak them in red wine, add cinnamon and sugar, cook it in the oven. Serve cold with vanilla icecream.

Oh, and after they have frozen solid in the tray, then transfer the cubes into ziploc baggie and store it in the freezer. Space saving tips

Yep, freeze it in ice cube tray. Then use the cubes in cooking- pasta sauce, etc. (or sangria)
