Plate ‘em up

My wife liked this recipe so much, she asked that I write it down. I thought it was delicious too so Im sharing the recipe with all of you. Cooked on a snowy, winter day, its light yet hearty. Easy to cook too.

Recipe:

- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large dutch oven.
- Brown pheasant til pink is gone, no more. Season with kinders buttery poultry seasoning as it browns.
- Add onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook for roughly 8 minutes.
- Add tomato paste and flour, stir until thickened, ~ 1 minute.
- Add white wine, cook down to half of what you added.
- Add chicken broth, rosemary, paprika, parsley, potatoes.
- Bring to boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook until vegetables and potatoes are done, ~1-2 hours.


Variations because I never follow recipes:

Use wild mushrooms - morels, chanterelles, boletes

Add less chicken broth and more flour to thicken it to a gravy, serve over mashed potatoes. No potatoes in the stew.

Make it with venison, beef broth, and red wine. Now its venison stew.

Add cream to make it rich.

Eat with a crusty bread to dip in it.
 
First attempt at Texas chili, forgot to get a pick of the elk roast in the smoker, gave it a little smoke before cubing.

Was lucky enough to get a doe mule deer on an island off the west coast this December. Went in an Asian direction with this - grilled the meat in a teriyaki type marinade and then stir fried up some garlic, red onion and broccoli. Combined it all with some avocado and siracha. Entire family loved it, even my wife who was on the fence about the taste of deer prior to this.

If the marinade and cook is right, mule deer is one of my favorite meats and is my favorite game meat.
