Wild Game Stew {Gulasz z dziczyzny}
Wild game stew {gulasz z dziczyzny} can be prepared with any meat you desire. My version, prepared with wild boar is full of traditional Polish flavors. The combination of fragrant cloves and juniper make this simple stew an aromatic and extra luxurious dish.
Wild Game Stew {Gulasz z dziczyzny}
Ingredients
- 1 lb / 500 g of wild game (I'm using wild pig)
- 2 tbs of oil
- 1 large onion
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 6-7 prunes
- 7-8 cloves
- 10 juniper berries, crushed
- 10 whole peppercorns and allspice berries, each
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of ground pepper
- 2 carrots
- 1 parsley root
- 1 c / 250 ml of dry red wine
- 3 c / 750 ml of water of stock
Instructions
Cut meat into bite size pieces, dice onion, peel and crush garlic, peel and slice carrots and parsley root.
Set a stewing pot on to high heat, add oil. Add meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add onions, garlic, prunes, the rest of the spices, carrots and parsley root.
Add wine and 1 cup of water/stock. Bring to boil, turn to low heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour. After 1 hour check if meat is tender, if not, add another 2 cups of water/stock and continue simmering on low for another hour (or until meat is tender).
Taste, add a bit more salt and ground pepper if desired.
Stew is great with a mild grain, like bulgur or with a perfect potato dumpling – Silesian dumplings called “kluski śląskie” and a side of braised red cabbage or creamed beets.
