Frequently asked questions
How do I tone down the gamey taste?
Marinate the meat overnight in red wine, root vegetables, and juniper. It softens the flavor and perfumes the meat — trim the silverskin and pat it dry before cooking.
How long should I braise game stew?
Count on two to three hours of slow braising — game leg and shoulder need time to turn tender. You'll know it's done when the meat falls apart at a fork.
Where do I buy game meat?
A butcher that carries game, farmers' markets, or hunters in your area are the surest bets. It's easiest to find in autumn during hunting season — and frozen is fine, the quality doesn't suffer.
What goes with game?
Cranberry sauce, mushrooms, plums, and dumplings or a potato gratin all suit it. For a drink, reach for a full-bodied red.
