Recipe notes
Venison makes a really good stew. Using the meat from the shoulder – rich, dark and deep in flavour, it responds well to slow-cooking. However, it can be lean, so here some sweet-cured pancetta or bacon adds fat, and give the dish the right balance. The nettle dumplings are a cinch to make and bring an extra wild element to this already rather wild stew.
