Very good! Followed another reviewer's tip of adding a bay leaf and some celery. Served over buttermilk mashed potatoes. Thank you for sharing!

We really liked this recipe, but I found it to be a bit acid due to the overwhelming tomato flavour. Next time I will omit the extra tomato paste because as I use a good quality Italian tinned tomato brand, the juice is more like a paste anyway. Thanks for posting this, I will be using it again.

GREAT ... just when you think you have "the one", there's always another to try try! Rita's suggestion of using G. Marnier was incorporated into the recipe. Also added some chopped celery and bay leaves during the cooking process. Thanks, Chia for another do again. The aroma in the kitchen was to die for! Made for PAC Spring 2010.

so good, didn't expect DH to eat most of this considering it's tomato based and has red wine in it but the blend of everything's just wonderful he couldn't resist! I wasn't able to have a 2nd helping! Oh, I didn't add the bacon here but it wasn't missed and used fleur de sal to season. Merci! Made for ZWT5- French, Zaar Chow Hounds.
