Tips for cooking

The longer the marinating time and the simmering time, the more tender it will be. When the liquid is running low during simmering, add more water to adjust. This recipe uses red wine. Depending on the heating condition, alcohol may contain, so please be careful if you are a child, can't drink much alcohol, pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, please refrain from consuming alcohol when you're driving, playing sports or taking a bath. The cooking time of Step 7 depends on the size of the ingredients, so please check how well it cooks and adjust the cooking time accordingly. You can shorten the cooking time by cutting the potatoes and carrots into smaller pieces or heating them in the microwave before simmering.
