Game stew
Quantities are what I used last time but can be altered depending on what you have (or what you prefer).
Game is not always easy to get but I use wildmeat.co.uk who are excellent. It is a little pricey but is very rich so I find that I am happy
with quite small portions. It is also extremely low fat if that is something important to you.

Venison 155g
Pheasant breast 138g
Rabbit (diced) 147g - If you prefer, finely diced chicken, or even better turkey, can be used
Wood pigeon 122g
Duck breast 72g (offcuts)
Shallots 62g
Fennel 55g (optional)
Garlic 33g
Chestnut mushrooms 150g
Red wine 250ml
Beef stock 1200ml (Game stock is better, but I didn't have any this time, chicken is also fine for a lighter stew).
Cornflour 30g to thicken stock
Parsley, thyme (a handful of each from the garden, dried is fine though)

1. Finely dice onion, garlic and fennel and brown in a little oil (I use rapeseed, but anything you have is fine). Transfer to slow cooker.
2. Dice game if necessary, brown with mushrooms and add to slow cooker.
3. Deglaze the pan with red wine, then transfer to slow cooker
4. Heat and thicken stock with cornflour if desired (mix flour with a little water and whisk into hot stock). Transfer to slow cooker.
5. Add the herbs
6. Cook on high (2 to 3 hours), medium (4 to 5 hours) or low (7 to 12 hours).
7. Enjoy the day, make veg when you get home. Or forget the veg and have a chunk of baguette if you can take the carbs.

Ingredients change with the seasons, depending on availability.

started my new hobby of mixing e liquid last week too, currently have 17 10ml samples steeping for another couple of weeks before they can be tried so that's been keeping me busy too with the measuring of liquids with syringes and then washing them all the time haha x
