Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound moose meat (cubed, stew-cut)
- 1.5 cups wild rice
- 4 cups water
- 2 large carrots (sliced)
- 2 medium potatoes (cubed)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 2 stalks celery (sliced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon thyme (dried)
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the cubed moose meat to the pot and sear for 4-5 minutes, turning to brown all sides evenly.
Remove the moose meat from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion, sliced celery, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Return the moose meat to the pot, then add the wild rice, water, sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and bay leaf.
Stir the ingredients to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the dish simmer for approximately 2 hours, or until the moose meat is tender and the wild rice is fully cooked.
Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to prevent sticking or drying out.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired, and serve warm.
