Preparation

  • Pour every ingredient into a medium saucepan, season with salt and pepper, and stir well. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour 30 minutes, stirring from time to time.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning before taking it off the heat. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or, better, overnight.
