Roe stew recipe

Preparation and cooking

  • - The day before. You can also use frozen venison. In this case you have to thaw up meat before marinating.
    Marinate roe in red wine for a night in a cool place. Marinating meat is very important for eliminating its wild taste.
  • - The day after remove all meat pieces from wine, pat dry them with absorbent kitchen paper and put apart.
  • - Chop finely carrots, leeks, onion and celery and place in a non-stick frying pan together with olive oil. Add roe pieces and let all fry slightly, few minutes.
  • - Then pour in grappa and let it evaporate.
  • - Add all aromatic herbs, cinnamon and cloves. Cover with hot water.
    Season to taste with salt and cook over a medium heat, half-covered, turning up roe pieces now and then.
    It's difficult tosay how much time is necessary for cooking.
    In any case meat must be tender.
    Add other hot water, if necessary

Just before serving

  • - If you have chopped very finely your vegetables, you have only to let all cooking juice is reduced very well.
    On the contrary you have to purée it. Remove meat pieces from the pan, purée all cooking juice and then place again meat in the pan and flavor all very well.
  • - Before serving, cook Basmati rice following the instructions on the package.
    Dress it with parsley, chives and olive oil.
    Arrange rice, roe pieces and jam on every dish.
    Place other jam in a little bowl on the table.
    Roe and rice must be served hot.

What's the right wine ?

My husband and I serve always Barolo (red wine from Piedmont) with roe stew.
