By request I’m adding my favorite Native American Recipe. This is a hearty stew that’s great for warming the bones on a cold day. The venison in this recipe could be substituted with Buffalo, beef, or goat.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds venison, cubed into bite-sized pieces shopping list
- 1/4 cup corn oil or canola oil (do not substitute with Soybean Oil) shopping list
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped shopping list
- 5 scallions (green spring onions), chopped shopping list
- 3 large cloves garlic, finely diced shopping list
- 8 small red potatoes, quartered shopping list
- 1 small rutabaga, cut into bite-sized pieces shopping list
- 3 celery stalks, diced shopping list
- 1 red pepper, cut into bite-sized pieces shopping list
- 2 bay leaves shopping list
- 1 cup wild mushrooms, cut into bite-sized pieces shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley, chopped shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt shopping list
- ground pepper to taste shopping list
- 1 tablespoon vinegar shopping list
- 2 cups water, vegetable, or beef broth shopping list
- 2 cans stewed tomatoes shopping list
- pinch of Sassafras powder or Filé powder shopping list
How to make it
- In a large cast-iron skillet or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add venison and brown on all sides.

- Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the venison, rutabaga and potatoes are tender.

- If you like hot and spicy this stew is ssssoooo good with 3 or 4 fresh red chili peppers (red cherries or red jalapenos) and a teaspoon of hot sauce added during cooking.
