We make this dish regularly. I usually add shredded carrots and a bit of garlic, though the original version is excellent as written. Often, I double the batch and pressure-can the remainder to have ready for cold, quiet evenings.

This was truly wonderful! I will absolutely make it again.

I threw in some mushrooms, diced tomatoes, a tablespoon of tomato paste, and a splash of red wine. We really enjoyed the result.
