Instructions
Brown the bones and some fatty pieces of meat plus one onion cut in quarters in the oil. Remove them from the pan and add1/2 cup of red wine to the pan, stirring and cooking a few minutes until it is reduced to a syrupy looking concoction. Add the bones, meat and onions back to the pan, turned to low, covered, and cook for 20 minutes or so, letting them "sweat" for a bit, producing a dark rich looking liquid.
Add 2 quarts of water and bring to a very low simmer, leave the lid askew, and cook for 2 hours, checking periodically that the broth is at a low simmer. Taste and add salt if necessary.
Pour the broth into a large jar or other container, straining it through a fine meshed strainer. Chill overnight in the fridge and skim off any accumulated fat.
