Venison Stew with Red Cabbage.
Courtesy of the Gaststaette Zur Jaegerbaude


With the winter months approaching, nothing can be more comforting than a stew or goulash, served with potatoes or dumplings.
This recipe serves four people:
First fry the venision pieces in brown butter until sealed. Then add the diced onion and finely chopped garlic and cook. If the mixture is getting dry than add some water.
Season the meat with salt and pepper and wild herbs.
Add a shot of brandy, and slowly cook until the meat is tender.

For the red cabbage, first finely chop half of the cabbage into thin strips and fry in butter, than add the apple juice, salt, vinegar and sugar and cook till tender.
Red cabbage taste better made 24 hours prior and then reheated; this allows all the flavours to mellow.

It is recommended to serve this dish with potato dumplings.
