ITALIAN HUNTERS STEW



Italian Hunters Stew image

Meet the Cook: This is an all-time favorite because it combines the satisfying ingredients of meat and vegetables with the flavor and textures of pasta dishes. My husband is a hunter besides, so on occasion I'll use elk or venison in place of the beef. We have three daughters and three grandchildren. Plus, my husband's the oldest of 14 children. Having 30 or 40 for holiday dinners isn't uncommon! -Ann Shorey, Sutherlin, Oregon

HUNTERS'S RABBIT STEW



HUNTERS'S RABBIT STEW image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Game     Stew     Fall     Spring     Summer     Winter

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

Whole skinned rabbit (~1.5kg in weight) cut into ~5cm cubes. (discard innards and head)
5-6 large garlic cloves
~1/2cup of extra virgin olive oil
5-10 Bay leaves (flavour to taste)
~1/2tbsp of rosemary (fresh rosemary is preferable)
~1tbsp of tomato paste/concentrate
~1tsp of Vegeta
~1L of red wine
Salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Everything is cooked on LOW heat (~1/3 of max). 1. Clean and roughly chop the garlic. 2. Place a large stew pot on low heat and add olive oil (to cover the bottom of the pot), chopped garlic, and small amount (~1/4tsp) of finely chopped rosemary, then slowly heat until the garlic yellows. (~10min) 3. Add the rabbit pieces, mix and cover, allowing them to release their own juices. Mix intermittently to avoid burning. 4. Once the rabbit meat has released its own juices (~15-30min cooking), add bay leaves, small amount of salt (better to add more at end as the wine will also make it slightly salty), tomato paste, the remaining rosemary and Vegeta. Mix and cover. 5. Once the meat juices have almost fully reduced, add red wine to ~85% of the level of rabbit pieces and allow to reduce. Mix and cover. Mix intermittently to avoid burning. Cooking should take ~1.5 hours once the rabbit is covered with wine. If necessary, season with salt and pepper just before completion of cooking. Serve warm with gnocchi.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality meat: Opt for grass-fed and organic options whenever possible, as these meats tend to be more flavorful and nutritious.
  • Brown the meat well: This step adds depth of flavor and helps to seal in the juices, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and nutrients to your stew. Some good options include carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Choose a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to braise the stew will contribute significantly to its overall flavor. Consider using a combination of broth, wine, and tomatoes.
  • Simmer the stew low and slow: This allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender. Aim for a gentle simmer that lasts for at least 1 hour, or longer if you have the time.
  • Season to taste: Once the stew is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Common seasonings for hunter's stew include salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and thyme.

Conclusion:

Hunter's stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and satisfying stew that will warm you from the inside out. Serve it with a side of crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
