Italian-style stew
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Neck meat works best for the stew, and you can use regular pork fat instead of bacon. If you don't have tomatoes in their own juice, substitute them with fresh ones, removing the skin and seeds. If honey is not suitable for any reason, add regular or cane sugar to taste. Serve hot.
