OmNomNom!

So let's all have some fantastic fall recipes (those of you lucky folk getting warm weather in the Southern Hemisphere, please share the recipes you've been using to stay warm all winter!)

I'll go first!

Venison Root Veg Stew
Feeds four, but since I'm cooking for two, that's why.

1 medium sized turnip/swede
1 medium sized potato
2 carrots
Half a decent sized onion
Plenty of garlic
Quarter pound of venison (mine was slightly freezer burnt, I'll admit)
Water

Toss a slug of oil in the pot you're using and let it heat a bit, then throw in the onions and other cut up veg. Squish the garlic beneath your knife and take off the paper, then toss that in there as well. Let it sweat a bit, then add the cut up venison and enough water to just cover the contents. Cover and let simmer for a while. Go code, knit, put your garden to sleep, fold the laundry, chase the cat, watch all of the SciFi channels Dune miniseries. It's done when the meat is cooked and the potato and turnip are soft.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Dish up and eat, savoring the hot food on a cold night. Remind the roommate/mate that since you cooked, they get to clean.

It keeps pretty well, but you will want to add a little bit of water before reheating.
