👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Pat the venison dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tbsp of butter with 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the venison in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Sear on all sides until nicely browned. Remove the meat and set aside.

Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil to the pot. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the sliced carrots and mushrooms to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown.

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

Gradually pour in the beef or game stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Return the browned venison to the pot. Add the crushed juniper berries, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.

Bring the stew to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for at least 2 hours, or until the venison is very tender. Stir occasionally.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Low and slow cooking is key for tender game meat. - 9
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Stir in the sliced or grated brunost until it melts into the sauce. Add the heavy cream and stir until well combined.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Brunost adds a unique sweet and savory depth. Adjust the amount to your preference. - 10
Simmer the stew uncovered for another 15-20 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

- ✓If you can't find wild mushrooms, common button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms will work well.
- ✓The stew can be made a day in advance; the flavors will meld beautifully overnight. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
