salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place beef, pork, and lamb in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add wine, parsley, juniper berries, garlic, bay, carrots, onions, leeks, and thyme. Mix together, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
Rub a crockpot with duck fat, if using.
