Instructions

1. Cut the vegetables into cubes and fry them with the tomato paste in a pan with a little oil. When it has turned color, add salt and add to the crock pot.
2. In the same pan, fry the cheeks seasoned with salt and pepper on all sides. Do not overfill the pan, it is better to fry in 2 stages. Also put the cheeks in the crock pot, add the bay leaves and pour the red wine and meat broth over them (alternatively, just meat broth is possible). Switch the crock pot to LOW and let it simmer for about 8-10 hours.
3. When the dish is ready, pour the sauce into a saucepan and mix with or without the vegetables to taste, season to taste and, if necessary, thicken. If you want, you can mix in a strong dash of cream.
