The bold aroma of this dish can be smelled form kilometers away through the African bush and always brings a smile to tired and hungry hunters faces. The deep red hue of the wine warmly reflects the African sunset at the closes on a long day in the bush.
Ingredients
- .759 grams (1.750 lbs) game meat cubed (best Kudu, Impala or Eland) shopping list
- marinade over night in red wine sauce (optional) shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil shopping list
- parsley, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary shopping list
- 500 grams (1 lb potatoes) (3 to 4 medium) shopping list
- 2 cups finely shredded ‘Morogo’ or wild spinach shopping list
- 2 medium onions, chopped in quarters shopping list
- 12 small spring onions (small bunch) shopping list
- 1½ cups sliced carrots shopping list
- Fresh chopped parsley shopping list
How to make it
- Season cubed game meat with salt and pepper. [Drain wine marinade optional]
- Heat olive oil in large saucepan it must hold all the meat in a single layer.
- Brown on all sides. Spoon off any fat and add enough water [or half water and half red wine marinade sauce] to just cover the meat.
- Bring to a boil and add parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme and rosemary enclosed in cheesecloth.
- Lower heat and simmer.
- Meanwhile, peel potatoes and shape into bite sized rounds [if in the bush bite sized cubes].
- Chop trimmings from potatoes into small pieces. Add potatoes, trimmings, onion, roughly chopped spring onions to game and liquid. Simmer 20 minutes then add carrots and ‘Morogo’ [wild spinach].
- Add a little more water if needed during cooking. Simmer 10 minutes more or until potatoes are tender. Correct seasoning to taste.
- Garnish with parsley and serve on a bed of yellow rice.
- Alternative: can be served with maize meal but this is traditionally African [very similar to Grits in America]
- [‘Morogo’ is not readily available in shops as it is picked wild by knowledgeable harvester in the African bush; it has a rich slightly bitter taste and complements the game flavor of the dish; but not to worry wild spinach works just as well.]
- WARNING: If you suffer from gout stay away from this dish you will suffer in the morning.
- (A good woody Shiraz will complement the rich game taste)
