Then remove the pan and reduce the temperature to 180 degrees.
Pour the wine and broth into it and stir. Add the tomato paste, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and carrots. Cover with a lid and return to the oven. Bake for about 2 and a half hours or 3 until the meat starts to break easily.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a pan and fry the artichokes for 10 minutes under a lid. Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the onions are golden.
Cut the mushrooms in half and fry them in a little oil (about 2 tablespoons). First put half the mushrooms and when browned, transfer to a plate and fry the rest.
