- Brown the carrots, celery, and onion in a bit of oil, adding the toasted remains. Mix everything with the red wine and cover with water. Boil for about 2 hours, filter out the remains from the liquid, and afterwards the liquid with a mesh cloth; reduce over low heat until you get a somewhat dense sauce.
- Cook the potatoes, which have been completely covered in the coarse salt, in the oven at 180℃ for about 35′. Peel them, mash them, and then season with oil, salt, pepper, and thyme.
