Wild animals in the season, like deer, represent cold winter evenings but also an unique taste of full meat flavors. One of my big adventures in this season was a 3.5kg piece of roe deer. What a blast!
Let me present you Roe Deer Stew in Red Wine with Apples. This recipe inspired me during my travels in Germany. Roe Deer, marinated in full-flavoured red wine with vegetables and spices like juniper berries, which makes wild meat so rich in flavour. Apples and strawberries give it a little uncommon twist. I have got a beautiful homemade strawberry marmalade with a bit of Balsamic Vinegar and black pepper. My family and friends had a real feast, let me tell you.
Don’t be afraid of processing this kind of meat. It is very easy to prepare. Basically it does the work itself. Wild meat represents a serious competition to a common meat we usually buy. Please enjoy!
Total Time: 45 minutes + 24-48 hours for the marinade + 3 hours of cooking for the stew/6 hour for the ribs
