I don't know what I did wrong. I followed the steps exactly except to omit the mushrooms and I cut the entire recipe in half. Maybe the red wine I used wasn't dry enough? I don't know. The flavor just wasn't there. We wound up having to add additional salt (which I almost never do). I'd consider trying this again with a different wine, maybe add in an additional vegetable to replace the mushrooms. But as-is, I wasn't impressed.
This recipe is great. The red wine made it just delicisous. I will definitely be making this again. The whole family loved it.
