  2. Fry until shiny in a large pot.
  3. Add the garlic, fry until fragrant, scoop out, and set aside.
  4. Cut the meat up into large pieces, and fry in batches.
  5. Add ½ of the onion/garlic mix and all the meat back into the pot.
  6. Add water, red wine, and port and cook for ± 3 hours on low-medium heat.
