Delicious Wild Game Stew ### Ingredients:

2 lbs wild game meat (venison, elk, or other game)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 carrots, sliced
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 potatoes, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
4 cups beef or game broth
1 cup red wine (optional)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions:

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the wild game meat and sear on all sides until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften slightly.
Return the seared game meat to the pot. Pour in the broth and red wine, if using. Stir in the tomato paste, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.
During the last half hour of cooking, add the mushrooms to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
