Wild Venison Stew
Taken from the shoulder and flank of roe deer from the local estates surrounding Welton. Well trimmed and diced ready for succulent stews and winter casseroles. Venison stew is a hearty, flavourful dish made with tender chunks of the venison simmered slowly in a rich, savoury broth. The meat becomes very tender after long cooking, and it absorbs the deep flavors of the other ingredients. Typical additions include root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips, along with onions, garlic, and herbs like rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Some versions might include red wine or stock for added depth, and it’s often seasoned with salt, pepper, and a touch of acidity like vinegar to balance out the richness of the venison. The stew is perfect for a cozy meal, especially in cooler weather. The earthy, slightly gamey flavour of the venison pairs beautifully with the comforting vegetables and savoury broth.
