We asked chef and cookbook author Clodagh McKenna to share some of her favorite fall recipes with us and this slow cooked beouf bourgignon from her book Clodagh's Happy Cooking coudln't feel more indulgent and warming for this time of year. It calls for shallots, pancetta, a glug of full-bodied red wine, and – Clodagh's secret ingredient – some good quality dark chocolate, which she says 'brings a smokiness and a beautiful velvet texture'.
