After 15/⏱️ 20 minutes be sure to check how thick the sauce is. If the sauce is too thin add a little flour like the chef did on YouTube and cook it for another ⏱️ 30 minutes or until the meat falls off the bones.

Remove the bay leaves. Add cognac and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
