👨‍🍳 조리법

1. 1

   Pat the reindeer meat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

   💡 전문가 팁: Drying the meat helps it brown better.
2. 2

   In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Brown the reindeer meat in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove browned meat and set aside.

3. 3

   Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the carrots and parsnips and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook out the raw flour taste.

5. 5

   Gradually pour in the broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

   💡 전문가 팁: Using a whisk can help prevent lumps when adding liquid.
6. 6

   Return the browned reindeer meat to the pot. Add the lingonberries and thyme sprigs. Stir to combine.

   💡 전문가 팁: Lingonberries can be found in specialty stores or online.
7. 7

   Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer gently for at least 2 hours, or until the reindeer meat is very tender. Stir occasionally.

   💡 전문가 팁: Low and slow cooking is key for tenderizing game meat.
8. 8

   Remove the thyme sprigs. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. If the stew is too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for a bit longer to reduce, or thicken with a cornstarch slurry.

   💡 전문가 팁: A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water.
