Venison Cabbage Stew Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Heat bacon grease in an oven-proof pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook and stir venison in the hot grease until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer venison to a plate using a slotted spoon. Add onion to hot grease; cook and stir until tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Mix garlic, tomato paste, and anchovy paste together in a small bowl; add to onions. Stir flour into onion mixture until dissolved.
• Pour wine, beef broth, and chicken broth into the pot; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add thyme and bay leaves to pot and bring liquid to a simmer. Return venison to pot. Cover pot.
• Simmer stew in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Add potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms to stew and simmer in the oven until potatoes are tender, about 1 hour more. Add peas and stir.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Brown meat on all sides. Remove from pan. Add onions to the same pan; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute longer. Add water, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, oregano, salt, pepper. Return meat to pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until meat is tender, 1-1/2 to 2 hours., Add potatoes and carrots. Continue to cook until vegetables are tender, 30-45 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf. In a small bowl, mix flour and cold water until smooth; stir into Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes. If desired, stir in browning sauce.

Steps:

• Season the flour with salt and pepper (and some paprika and cayenne if you like a little spice), toss the venison until covered with flour.
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter in a large pot over medium heat. When butter has stopped foaming, saute the onions, leeks, mushrooms, and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove these from the pot and set aside.
• Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the now-empty pot, brown the stew meat for 2 or 3 minutes, until it absorbs all the oil and begins to cook.
• Return the onions, leeks, mushrooms, and garlic to the pot with the meat. Mix in radishes, turnip, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, bay leaf, rosemary sprig, oregano, salt and pepper.
• Add the water and bouillon. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 2 hours.
• 15 minutes before finishing, toss in the cubed potatoes.
• Taste and adjust seasonings for flavor. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Brown venison and onions in a large pot over medium heat. Mix in onion, parsnip, potatoes, carrots, rutabagas, tomatoes, bouillon, water, cabbage, bay leaf, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Fry the vegetables in a little oil and butter in a heavy-based casserole for 4-5 mins until golden. Tip in the garlic and fry for a further min, then set aside.
• Put the venison into a plastic bag with seasoned flour and shake to coat. Add a little more oil and butter to the pan, then fry the venison over a high heat, stirring now and then, until well browned. Don't crowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary. Set aside with the vegetables.
• Add the redcurrant jelly and wine to the pan, and bring to the boil, scraping up all the bits that have stuck to the bottom. Pour in the stock, then add the thyme, bay leaf, meat and vegetables. Season if you like and bring to the boil. Cover and transfer to the oven for about 1½ hrs or until tender. Remove from the oven and check the seasoning.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook slowly for 10 mins until really soft. Add the cabbage, vinegar, sugar, mixed spice and half the jelly along with 100ml water, then season. Bring to the boil, stir, then cover with a lid. Cook for 40 mins over a medium-low heat. Meanwhile, remove the venison from the fridge to come to room temperature.
• Add the blackberries and crème de mure or crème de cassis, if using, to the cabbage mixture. Continue cooking, uncovered, for 5-10 mins until the liquid has evaporated and the blackberries have broken down slightly.
• Heat a frying pan until hot. Rub the venison steaks with the oil, then season. Cook in the hot pan for 4-5 mins on each side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare. In the final 1 min of cooking, add the remaining jelly to the pan and spoon it over the steaks as it melts. Remove the steaks from the pan and leave to rest. Serve the cabbage and venison with mashed potato.
