👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Coat the game meat with flour, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Heat butter or oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the cubed bacon and cook until browned and crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
- 3
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the floured game meat to the pot in batches and brown on all sides. Deglaze the pot with the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the wine simmer for a minute.
- 5
Return the browned meat and bacon to the pot. Add the beef or game stock, chopped dried apples, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and cloves. Bring to a simmer, then cover the pot tightly.
- 6
Transfer the pot to a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F). Simmer for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the game meat is very tender. Stir occasionally, adding more stock if the stew becomes too dry.
- 7
Add the chopped carrots to the stew and continue to cook for another 30 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
- 8
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf before serving. Serve hot, traditionally with mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
