Ingredients

.759 grams (1.750 lbs) game meat cubed (best Kudu, Impala or Eland)

Marinade over night in red wine sauce (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons Olive oil

Parsley, bay leaves, thyme, rosemary

500 grams (1 lb potatoes) (3 to 4 medium)

2 cups finely shredded ‘Morogo’ or wild spinach

2 medium onions, chopped in quarters

12 small spring onions (small bunch)

1½ cups sliced carrots

Fresh chopped parsley

Directions

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)

Thanks guys
Have never tried it with American buffalo, so I don't know the taste but i would assume it would taste the same as African buffalo. Venison and rabbit would work as well.
