Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Season cubed game meat with salt and pepper. [Drain wine marinade optional]
  2. Heat olive oil in large saucepan it must hold all the meat in a single layer.
  3. Brown on all sides. Spoon off any fat and add enough water [or half water and half red wine marinade sauce] to just cover the meat.
  4. Bring to a boil and add parsley, bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme and rosemary enclosed in cheesecloth.
  5. Lower heat and simmer.
  6. Meanwhile, peel potatoes and shape into bite sized rounds [if in the bush bite sized cubes].
  7. Chop trimmings from potatoes into small pieces. Add potatoes, trimmings, onion, roughly chopped spring onions to game and liquid. Simmer 20 minutes then add carrots and ‘Morogo’ [wild spinach].
  8. Add a little more water if needed during cooking. Simmer 10 minutes more or until potatoes are tender. Correct seasoning to taste.
  9. Garnish with parsley and serve on a bed of yellow rice.
  10. Alternative: can be served with maize meal but this is traditionally African [very similar to Grits in America]
  11. [‘Morogo’ is not readily available in shops as it is picked wild by knowledgeable harvester in the African bush; it has a rich slightly bitter taste and complements the game flavor of the dish; but not to worry wild spinach works just as well.]
  12. WARNING: If you suffer from gout stay away from this dish you will suffer in the morning.
  13. (A good woody Shiraz will complement the rich game taste)
