A typical recipe brought from Italy by Catherine Desforges, Helene’s cousin, who also brought her husband back from Chianti, Chief David Zaccardi.
This recipe is great as is, but you can also change it by adding crushed red pepper flakes, sautéed mushrooms, parmesan cheese, etc..
You can replace half the bottle of wine by the same amount of beef broth.
In Italian, the vegetable mixture is called soffritto.
