    Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour.
  2. While the meat is cooking, prepare the mushrooms and small white onions. Clean, rinse and cut the mushrooms then put them in a small pot of water with a few drops of lemon, salt, pepper and a knob of butter. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and cook for 8 minutes. For the small onions: peel and cook them for 8 minutes, just barely covered with water, along with a small piece of butter and sprinkled with sugar.
  3. Drain the meat, but reserve the cooking juices to use for the sauce. Put the meat on a dish and keep warm.

  7. Serve with rice, potatoes, or pasta ...

Final Thoughts...

  • To speed up the recipe:
    You can cook the meat in a pressure cooker (for 20 minutes after the start of the rotation of the valve). You can even cook potatoes in the pressure cooker at the same time and then use your spare time to prepare the sauce Smiley ....
