I have heard that Sahadis sells some French stuff, but havent been there looking for it and their online store doesnt sell it. This stew is fabulous!!! Its luxe and lush and so intensely flavored, if youre anything like me, after one bite youll forget every crock pot attempt that yielded thin broths, tough meat, weak flavor and, always, unevenly cooked vegetables (potato mush and still-rubbery carrots, sigh), or at least I did.

As soon as it gets cold in Australia I am totally making this. I do wish you had mentioned how long it might generally take to render the bacon/pancetta though. Thanks, Deb!
