ROCKY MOUNTAIN OYSTER STEW

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield s: 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds large bull's testicles
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 cups sliced white onions
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 bottle red wine
1/8 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon freshly chopped chives
1 teaspoon freshly chopped parsley leaves
1 crispy French bread (baguette), sliced and toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove outer membrane from the testicles and slice into 1-inch disks. Toss into flour, seasoned with salt and pepper, and shake of any excess. In a large oven proof skillet add canola oil and heat until it gets to the smoking point. Add garlic and onions and saute until cooked, tossing quickly so as not to burn the garlic. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan with the oil residue, add the butter and place the disks of the testicles, flat side down, into the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Add the wine, stir in tomato paste until well incorporated, then add back the sauteed onion and garlic mixture. As the dish cooks it will thicken because of the flour dusting on the testicles. Continue to cook on top of the range for about 15 minutes, then place the pan into the preheated oven for another 30 minutes or until testicles are tender. Remove from oven and adjust seasoning. Let rest for approximately 10 minutes so flavor enhances. Garnish with chopped herbs and crispy bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, tender meat, and flavorful spices make all the difference in a stew.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the stew: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to thicken the stew.
  • Choose the right vegetables: Some vegetables, such as potatoes and carrots, hold their shape well in a stew, while others, such as tomatoes and greens, break down and add flavor.
  • Add liquids carefully: Too much liquid can make the stew watery, so add it gradually and taste as you go.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew hot: Stew is best served hot, so reheat it if necessary before serving.

Conclusion:

Rocky Mountain stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. With its tender meat, fresh vegetables, and flavorful broth, it's a meal that the whole family will enjoy. Whether you follow one of the recipes in this article or create your own, be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients and let the stew simmer for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
