How to Make Hunter Stew

  1. Season 1.5 lbs of meat (venison, chicken, duck, etc.) with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Lightly dust with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  2. In a large, deep frying pan, cook 4 slices of bacon (pork or turkey) over medium heat until cooked through but not crispy. Remove bacon and set aside.
  3. Brown the seasoned meat in the bacon grease until browned on all sides.
  4. Chop the cooked bacon into bite-sized pieces. Add the bacon back to the pan along with 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 3 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 4 cups beef or chicken broth, 1 cup chopped potatoes, 1 bay leaf, and 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the meat is fork-tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. Remove bay leaf before serving. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
