Saturday 1 December
After soaking a pound and a half
of great northern beans last night, we put them in the crockpot today at
noon. At around 4 PM, we sautéed a pack
of Sharon's venison stewmeat in oil, then sliced up a red onion and a carrot,
sliced some cloves of Archie's garlic, sprigs of garden rosemary, and a few
ground up juniper berries, with a shot of gin, salt, and pepper. We simmered it all for an hour or two with under a cup of
mushroom broth from Holt's birthday Beef Wellington.
A half hour before the end, we fried up a
pound of portobellos and threw them in with a couple of scoops of the beans to accomplish the full stew. The result was perfectly seasoned, well
balanced, and delicious. And there are still lots of beans left over to do other things with.
