Stir until the lamb is no longer pink. Pour in the wine and let this cook for about a minute to burn off the alcohol. Add the bay leaves and tomato sauce and stir until all combined.

Put a lid on, turn the burner to medium-low, and let the sauce cook for 30 minutes so all the flavors can marry and the carrots and onions are well cooked.
