Venison Brunswick Stew
You’ll need:
- 3 pounds venison, cut into one-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 large potato, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 large can tomatoes, chopped (or use frozen ones from the summer garden, which I do)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 10-ounce package frozen lima beans (again, I grow and freeze my own)
- 1 10-ounce package frozen corn (mine comes from the family garden)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Hot pepper sauce or freshly ground black pepper to taste
Place canola oil in a large Dutch oven and brown the venison. Add chopped onions and sauté. Add potato, celery, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings. Cover and cook for an hour. Check for tenderness and cook a bit more if necessary.
Add frozen vegetables and continue cooking until they are tender. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve over rice or orzo or with grits. Makes six to eight hearty servings.
