  • 3-4 cloves garlic, sliced
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs
  • Salt and milled black pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 2 cups dry red wine

Season lightly with salt, generously with black pepper. Rub all over with olive oil.
Place in a heavy casserole just large enough to accommodate it.
Pour in wine. Cover with 2 sheets of oiled greaseproof paper. Cover with a light fitting lid.
