Ingredients:
- 800 g of game meat (e.g. venison, deer, or wild boar)
- 2 onions
- 2 carrots
- 4 garlic cloves
- 5-6 whole juniper berries
- 5-6 whole allspice berries
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 250 ml red wine
- 500 ml stock (beef or vegetable)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Cut the game meat into larger chunks and season with salt and pepper. In a deep pot, heat the olive oil and sear the meat on all sides until browned. Remove the meat and set aside.
-
In the same pot, add the chopped onions, carrots, and garlic, and sauté until the onions soften and turn lightly golden.
-
Add the whole juniper berries, allspice, bay leaves, and thyme. Briefly sauté to release the flavors from the spices.
-
Return the seared game meat to the pot and pour in the red wine. Let it simmer for a moment, allowing the wine to evaporate and reduce.
-
Add the stock, cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender.
-
If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it with a little flour mixed with water. Finally, season to taste with salt and pepper.
