Usually the purpose of braising is to concentrate the food's flavors in the surrounding liquid so that it can be made into a sauce, or allowed to reduce so that it coats or is reabsorbed by the foods being braised.

Most foods are braised with enough liquid to come halfway up their sides, but some recipes call for very little; otherwise use none at all and rely on the foods to braise in their own juices.
