Step 1

A day before serving, heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Season the meat with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.

Step 3

Put the meat and the bay leaf in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot, and add enough water to cover (about 8 cups). Bake, covered, for about an hour, then remove from heat, let cool and refrigerate overnight.

Step 4

The next day, the fat will have congealed on top; using a slotted spoon, remove and discard the layer of fat.

Step 5

Add the sweet potatoes, onions, carrots and prunes to the meat, and stir to combine. Bake, covered, for another hour, then remove the lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked, the meat is tender and the water is reduced, another 30 minutes to 1 hour. Season to taste. If there is more broth than you’d like, ladle some out and save for another use. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving.
