Chuck and run here, too.

I do sometimes brown the meat (I find for ossu bucco you need to), but most of the time I just don't bother.

I usually chuck in the meat, the vegies, a tin of tomatoes and then stir and pop on the lid. Herbs and spices, obviously. Sometimes I throw in lentils and extra water, but mostly it's just a case of throw in whatever's handy.

I know I'd probably find things taste better if I browned the meat and followed timings a bit more accurately, but what comes out tastes pretty damned good anyway!
