Critical Success Points

  • Marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes (or overnight).
  • Properly brown the meat to develop the fond.
  • Monitor the liquid level during the slow cooking.
  • Prepare the prune and quince confits separately to prevent them from falling apart.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Ensure the meat reaches at least 71 °C (chicken) or 63 °C (beef/lamb) before serving.
  • Saffron can stain surfaces; handle it with dedicated utensils.
