Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2.
- On the hob, heat the oil in a large lidded casserole dish. Add the onions and cook until softened, but not browned (add a little water if they stick).
- Add the garlic, bacon and mushrooms and cook for a further minute.
- Add and brown the venison.
- Add the red wine, water, stock pots, jelly, carrots, swede, celery, and pepper.
- Bring to the boil and stir well. Add the rosemary sprigs (or dried rosemary). Put the lid on the casserole and place in the middle of the oven – cook for 2—2.5 hours.
- Remove from the oven. Make a paste with the cornflour and two tablespoons of water. Add to the casserole to thicken the sauce.
- Transfer the casserole to the hob, and, on a low heat, cook until the gravy has thickened.
