Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Mix in diced carrots and pearl onions, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

Pour in red wine and scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes.

Remove bay leaves and stir in chopped parsley before serving.
