NORTH CROATIAN DEER GOULASH



North Croatian Deer Goulash image

This goulash is very nice and heavy meal, suitable for winter period. Usually we use roe-deer (female, preferably young) because meat is tender. You can use second class parts of meat, muscles. We also put flour noodles (see Croatian flour noodles here on Zaar), but you can put potato pieces in it. If you put flour noodles in it, they must be small.

5 g juniper berries
5 g dried thyme
2 cups beef stock or 2 cups game stock

  • If you are putting flour noodles (see recipe on Zaar) first cook them separately until they start to flow on surface, than put them into goulash and cook until done (about 20 minutes).

VENISON GOULASH



Venison Goulash image

Goulash in America and goulash in Europe are nothing alike. I'm well aware of their differences-I've had enough people tell me that my Hungarian recipe is not "real goulash." But I can see why people love American goulash so much. It's a one-pot combination of meaty and cheesy; sort of a hybrid...

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb. ground venison
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 bay leaf
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz.)
1 can tomato sauce (15 oz.)
1 tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. dried basil
1 ½ cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 ½ cups unsalted beef stock
2 tbsp. soy sauce
Lawry's Seasoned Salt, to taste
¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded, plus extra

Steps:

  • In a 5-quart pan, heat enough oil to coat the bottom over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add ground venison to brown, breaking up large pieces with a wooden spoon. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Add onion, bay leaf, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic and tomato paste and stir for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients (except the seasoned salt and cheddar cheese). Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook for 25 minutes on low or until the macaroni becomes tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally and make sure you have enough liquid for the pasta to cook, adding more stock/water as needed. If the goulash is too loose in the end, allow to cook partially uncovered for a few minutes.
  • Remove goulash from heat and season with seasoned salt and pepper. Stir in shredded cheese. Serve with extra cheese sprinkled on top.

VENISON GOULASH



Venison Goulash image

This is a goulash recipe from Germany. I combined it from a couple of different recipes, it is ideal for the lesser quality cuts as the meat will get softer. Here goulash is most meat and some onions in a sauce, sometimes bell peppers but I personally prefer ones without like this one. One of the recipes I took some of my ideas from suggested adding sour cream at the end, but I think is more than rich enough without. I served it with butter rice, though it would be good with potatoes or bread too.

Time 3h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs deer, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
4 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons pork fat (probably could use other fat but this adds a lot of flavour)
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 1/2 teaspoons hot paprika (or less if you don't like it on the spicy side)
1/2 cup mild red wine
1 liter vegetable broth (hot) or 1 liter bouillon (hot)
70 g tomato paste
salt

Steps:

  • Cover the meat in the flour.
  • Melt the fat in a skillet, add the onion and garlic and cook until onions are clear.
  • Add the meat and brown well.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients.
  • Stir well, cover and simmer gently stirring occasionally until the meat is tender (about two to three hours) Add water if liquid reduces too much, there are ought be a half cm of liquid over the meat.
  • Taste and add salt if necessary. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of venison: For goulash, you'll want to use a cut of venison that is relatively tough, such as the shoulder or shank. These cuts will become tender when braised in the goulash sauce.
  • Brown the venison before braising: Browning the venison before braising will help to develop its flavor and give the goulash a richer color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Goulash is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and peppers.
  • Season the goulash well: Goulash should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of red wine or beer to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour: The longer you simmer the goulash, the more tender the venison will become. Simmer the goulash for at least 1 hour, or until the venison is fall-apart tender.

Conclusion:

Deer goulash is a delicious and hearty stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you have some venison, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
