This meaty, milk-braised stew can employ the protein of your choice (beef and pork work especially well). The silky braising liquid — spiked with vin santo—cloaks the mixture, which includes potatoes and peas. Fragrant with rosemary and warmed from a pinch of nutmeg, it commingles in the slow cooker for hours, filling your home with the most inviting scent. Serve it piping hot with a wedge of crusty French or Italian bread.
