Taste is robust and complex, despite the simplicity of the recipe! The red wine adds a lot to this recipe - I used the full amount suggested. I did make some modifications - for 1 lb of meat, I added 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 2 bay leaves, generous shake of thyme, oregano, fresh basil, fresh baby bella mushrooms vs. canned mushrooms, and 3 tomatoes + 6 oz can of tomato paste instead of tomato sauce. This produces a thick sauce if the recipe is cooked for 1 hour (I used stew meat, so it needed the extra time). Otherwise, with 30 mins of cooking time, I would suggest using 1/2 to 3/4 the amount of tomato + paste.
