Venison One Pot Special

This is normally something that my wife does with Belly Pork. On the basis that Belly Pork doesn't quite meet the grade from a health perspective venison has been bought into the equation. The Belly Pork does do well with this method as the fat goes soft and delicious - venison is a different beast (quite literally) and gives a different dimension to the dish.

Ingredients

250g diced stewing venison
2 peppers
4 plum tomatoes
12 button mushrooms
500ml beef stock
2 tbs tomato ketchup
2 tbs brown sauce
3 dashes of Worcester Sauce
75g brown rice

Method

Normal convention is to seal the meat first but for this dish everything goes into one pot and does not do anything other than boil to ingredients. As the amount of liquid all gets absorbed no flavour is lost.

Dice all the ingredients (excluding the rice) and put into a large casserole dish with the stock and sauce. Bring to the boil and let simmer for 2 hours. With 20 minutes remaining add the rice.

All the liquid should be absorbed by the rice so nothing is lost flavour wise. Whilst exceptionally simple, and washing up limited this is a great dinner.
