Description

This hearty game stew is a real centerpiece for cold days! I especially like to make it in autumn and winter when the game is particularly aromatic. The combination of venison shoulder, wild boar knuckles, and red deer neck makes the stew incredibly flavorful. Add to that spicy game sausages and Krakauer. The long simmering ensures that the meat becomes incredibly tender and the flavors blend perfectly. A feast for all meat lovers and perfect for a cozy meal with friends or family. The pearl barley and vegetables make the stew a complete meal.

Preparation (8 steps)

Chop soup vegetables

Cut the soup vegetables (carrots, celery, leek, onion) into coarse pieces and place in the mixing bowl. Chop for 5 sec/speed 5. If necessary, push down with the spatula and repeat the process.

Simmer game

Fill the pot with cold water (approx. 8 liters) and slowly bring to a simmer. Simmer on medium heat with a lid for 2 hours. Do NOT perform this step in the Thermomix®.

Prepare meat

Remove the game from the soup and let it cool briefly. Pluck the meat from the bones and cut into smaller pieces if necessary. Slice the Vienna sausages and Krakauer.
