4. 4

   Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 mins.

5. 5

   Add meat and brown on all sides.

6. 6

   Lower heat and add wine.

7. 7

   Simmer, covered, until meat is tender (it took me a little more than an hour with the kid I had).

8. 8

   Remove meat and keep warm.

9. 9

   Strain the sauce.

10. 10

    Put the sauce back in the casserole, and stir in the cream and rum.

    Bring to a boil and reduce to the consistency of heavy cream.

12. 12

    Return the meat to the sauce and heat through.

    Serve with dry boiled rice and green peas. (it says here: but I served it with wide homemade egg noodles, and I think that works better than rice would, even if not strictly the way they would do it in Locarno.)
