Made this last night and I had to force myself to leave the kitchen before I ate myself into a food coma.
Used this recipe as the base line with a couple of tweaks.
Did one pound of ground venison and one pound of ground wild pork, so I more or less doubled the recipe ingredients. Doubled the flour / water component and went to 3 cups instead of 2 cups of broth (used home made vegetable stock instead of beef broth - much lighter but more flavorful taste imo)
Other tweaks -
- Added sautéed mushrooms
- Caramelized the onions in beef tallow
- used 8 cloves of garlic as well as used garlic powder when browning the meat (I always double or triple garlic amounts called for)
- Added a fair amount of cayenne to the gravy mix, as well as poured in about half a cup of red wine to the meat when it was almost done browning. Has the perfect amount of kick and the wine adds a really nice layer of acidity.
Probably took an hour total to make, cheap, easy and **** tasty.
