2 pounds venison, cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
1 ½ cups red wine
¼ cup all-purpose flour
extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, cut into chunks
1 sprig rosemary leaves, minced
1 sprig thyme leaves, minced
balsamic vinegar
½ cup beef stock
5 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 carrots, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 parsnips, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Steps:

  • Season the venison with salt and pepper, and place into a bowl. Stir in the kiwi slices and red wine until evenly mixed. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Drain the venison, reserving the red wine marinade. Pick out the pieces of kiwi from the venison, and place them with the red wine marinade. Squeeze as much marinade from the venison as you can.

Tips:

- Use high-quality venison meat for the best flavor. Fresh or frozen venison can be used, but if using frozen meat, thaw it completely before cooking. - Trim any excess fat from the venison to reduce gaminess. - Use a variety of vegetables in the stew for added flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms. - Brown the venison in a hot pan before adding it to the stew. This will help to develop the flavor and color of the meat. - Use a good quality red wine for the stew. A dry red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor. - Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be. - Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread.
