- If necessary add oil to the casserole and fry the pancetta on medium-high heat for 3 or so minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. Add to the set-aside meat.
- Fry the onion for 3 minutes, stirring only to avoid sticking. Then add the garlic and fry for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the meat and pancetta back to the casserole and stir well.
- Add the cognac/wine reduction, beef stock, bay leaves and thyme, stir gently but thoroughly, cover and cook in the pre-heated oven for 3 hours.
- About 15 minutes before the time is up, heat the remaining oil and the butter in a clean frying pan and fry the shallots for 4-6 minutes or until lightly browned. Add in the mushrooms and more butter if needed. Cook until they too are browned, stirring gently to avoid any burning.
- Remove the casserole from oven, add the shallots and mushrooms plus the carrots and stir thoroughly. Return to oven for 45-50 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and thyme stalks, allow the casserole to cool and put in the fridge overnight.
