We fed 3 teenaged girls who said they did not like venison and asked for seconds. Need I say more? Do not be afraid of the borbon, the alcohol burns off and creates a wonderful aromatic flavor. Serve with Sauteed Green Beans and Creamy and Simple Mashed Potatoes and a bottle of Simi Cabernet. *Can substitute beef stock for veal stock if you must.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs venison rump roast
6 garlic cloves, sliced
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup bacon grease
1 medium onion
4 celery ribs
3 large carrots
2 elephant garlic cloves
1 small fuji apple, cored and seeded
4 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, minced
1/4 cup flour
1 cup water
1 cup bourbon
4 cups veal stock
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
2. Cut slits in the roast all over and insert the garlic slices.
3. Season the roast generously with salt and pepper.
4. In a cast iron skillet heat the bacon grease and then add the roast, searing on all sides.
5. Remove the roast and let sit on a plate.
6. In the bowl of the food processor add the celery, onion, apple, elephant garlic, carrots and process to a fine mash, not quite to a paste.
7. Add this mixture to the hot skillet and scrape the bottom, stirring frequently over med-high heat.
8. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and sprinkle with the flour, stirring frequently, be careful not to burn this.
9. Add 1 cup of water, stir well until all is incorporated and reduce for about 5 minutes.
10. Add the bourbon, stir well and reduce 3-4 minutes.
11. Add the veal stock and the tomatoes and return the venison to the pot.
12. Cover and bake in the oven for 5 hours, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
