Scale

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon browning sauce (optional)

  7. Herb it up by adding in fresh herbs, tied in a bundle if you prefer.
  8. Infuse with vegetables by adding carrots and potatoes, then bring to a gentle boil before reducing heat and covering to simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  10. Final touch: discard the herb sprigs, stir, and prep for serving.
