- 500 g Game meat or chicken(cubed (e.g., venison, rabbit, or chicken leg meat))
- 3 large Onions(finely chopped)

👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the lard or oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent and softened, about 7-10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt to help draw out moisture.
- 2
Add the grated celery root and chopped carrots to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 3
Make a well in the center of the vegetables and add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the sweet and hot paprika powders, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the cubed beef and pork to the pot. Brown the meat on all sides. If using, add the white wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it reduce slightly.
- 5
Add the game meat or chicken, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Pour in the water or beef stock, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2 hours, or until the beef and pork are tender.
- 6
Add the chicken (if using) during the last 45 minutes of cooking, as it cooks faster than the other meats. Continue to simmer until all meats are tender and the stew has thickened.
- 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve hot, traditionally with crusty bread.
