This is one of those long-cooking dishes that I love doing during the winter.
Italian Pork Chops, braised with lemon, oregano and chopped tomatoes makes an easy main course
Calvados is apple brandy, but regular brandy or white wine or even more apple juice works.
Braised Potatoes and Carrots with Bay Leaves, simple, flavorful, light - with no butter or oil
Crispy skin chicken thighs oven braised with great northern beans and spinach.
Braised Veal Rolls with Prosciutto and Sage, cooked in white wine until tender.
