Side Notes from Jocelyn

  1. Try different meat flavors when you're making the sauce - You can try meats like venison, ground turkey … even pepperoni to vary up the flavors.

  2. Make it Vegan - You can make this vegetarian/ vegan by replacing the meats with vegetables or even lentils and also replacing the chicken-stock with vegetable stock.

  3. You can remove the red wine completely and substitute it with the stock

  4. Allow the flavors to simmer - Don't rush the cooking process for this sauce

  5. For the flavors to truly develop - You must let them come together slowly
