  3. Pour start, pour a small amount of frying oil in a saucepan and heat it over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and garlic and cook until softened.
  4. When the onion becomes translucent and starts to brown, add a spoonful of flour and mix with a wooden spoon until it disappears.
  5. Return the meat to the pot, pour in the wine, and mix. ≈ 4 min
  6. Add the drained mushrooms and cover them with the water they were soaking in, plus a little extra broth if needed.
  7. Season and simmer for about 30 minutes over low heat, until the meat is tender.
  8. About 5 to 10 minutes before the end of cooking, add the finely chopped almonds and parsley to a mortar and pestle. The sauce should be thick.
