How To Make Spiced Braised Venison with Chilli & Chocolate
Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 kg venison, cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 red chilies, sliced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 cup red wine
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate, grated
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh coriander, for garnish
Instructions
-
In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the venison cubes and sear until browned on all sides. Remove the venison from the pot and set aside.
-
In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced red chilies. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
-
Add the ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and cinnamon to the pot. Stir well to coat the onion mixture with the spices.
-
Return the seared venison to the pot and stir in the tomato paste, beef or vegetable broth, and red wine. Bring to a simmer.
-
Cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the venison simmer for about 2 hours, or until it becomes tender and the flavors meld together.
-
Stir in the grated dark chocolate and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to melt and incorporate into the sauce.
-
Serve the spiced braised venison over steamed rice or with crusty bread. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander.
