Clean the leg of venison and cut it into 2 x 2 x 2 cm cubes. Pour some olive oil over it and mix well. Cut the onion into eighths, cut the carrot and celery into small cubes, cut the garlic into leaves. Grind grainy spices. Quarter the parsley root lengthways.
Heat a cast iron pot and sear the meat (possibly in several portions) in it, remove each one and then let the vegetables with the tomato paste take some color. Then add the meat again, including all the herbs and spices. Deglaze quickly with red wine and fill up with game stock or meat stock. Cook gently for about 60 minutes with the lid closed (cooking test!).
When the meat is ready, fish out some things with a fork: mace, parsley root, rosemary, thyme, sage, oregano and whatever else should disturb. Then season to taste with salt and crème fraîche.
Serve with cranberry compote or currant jam with bread dumplings, other dumplings, pasta, rice, etc.
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
