Instruction
Prepare Meat
Unpack and dry the roast venison meat.
Brown in a hot pot with some oil or clarified butter.
Fry Meat
I fry the meat with lid and reduce the temperature of the stove plate immediately after inserting the meat.
Brown onion
Add the diced onions to the pot and brown until light brown.
Add tomato puree
Add the tomato paste and roast until light brown.
Add the pressed juniper berries, peppercorns, cloves and bay leaf.
Deglaze
Deglaze with red wine, add the two stock cubes or veal stock from the glass.
Add vegetables
Cut the soup vegetables into very small pieces except for the carrots.
Cut the carrots into oblong sticks.
Add the vegetables to the roast venison and braise with the lid for a good 1-1.5 hours at moderate heat.
Prepare Dumplings
In the meantime, prepare the dumpling mass as described in the article.
Fill into moulds and cook in a steam sieve over boiling water.
Check meat
Remove the meat from the sauce and cut into slices.
Check the cooking degree.
Melt the meat on the tongue until it is as soft as butter.
Sauce complete
Remove the carrots from the sauce and place in a bowl.
Strain the sauce through a fine sieve and bring to the boil.
Add the finely grated potatoes to the sauce and simmer for 3 minutes.
The sauce binds and gets a nice consistency.
Season sauce
Season the final sauce with orange juice, pieces of gingerbread, salt, pepper and butter.
Heat meat
If necessary, add the slices of roast venison to the sauce again and continue cooking.
Serve
Arrange dumpling souffle and carrots on warm plates.
Add the roast venison and the sauce.
Serve the roast venison quickly, enjoy your meal!
