- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 500 ml beef or venison stock
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Add the venison and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, and stir to coat the onions and garlic in the spices.
Return the browned venison to the skillet. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and beef or venison stock.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
After 30 minutes, stir in the cooked kidney beans and let the mixture simmer uncovered for another 15 minutes to thicken.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, alongside crusty bread or rice if desired.
