Ingredients

  • Elk meat, around 1Kg (2lb).
  • Large glass of cheap red wine.
  • 3 medium, or 2 large onions, chopped.
  • 4 Bay leaves.
  • Garlic powder, about a teaspoon.
  • (Optional) 2-25 cloves of garlic, (the latter quantity will ward off vampires. Plus your friends ;-) Seriously, 2-3's fine
  • 6-8 allspice berries, whole.
  • About half - pint (OK, 250ml) water, needs to come about halfway up the elk.
  • Olive oil and butter. "Glug" of oil, knob of butter's enough.
  • For the sauce: a tablespoonful of maize or cornflour for thickening, stirred in about half a teacup of cold water.
