Here is the stew of stews: "So good!"
A Finnish food influencer claims to have the best game stew recipe, emphasizing the importance of ingredients and cooking techniques.
In a recent feature by Mari Moilanen, a well-known Finnish food influencer and author, the spotlight is on an exceptional game stew recipe that she claims to be the best in the world. Moilanen encourages enthusiasts to use either deer, reindeer, or elk meat or even beef if game meat is not readily available. The recipe emphasizes the importance of a silky smooth tomato sauce and cooking potatoes alongside the other ingredients to enhance the richness and flavor of the stew.
Moilanen details that the stew's secret lies in its method, highlighting that it should simmer without a lid to avoid excess liquid. This technique is intended to create a hearty and intensely flavored dish that avoids a watery texture. The combination of the meats and the careful selection of vegetables such as onion, carrots, and celery complements the dish, resulting in a meal that's both wholesome and deeply satisfying.
With clear instructions, the recipe is presented for four servings and encourages cooks to experiment with various game meats, celebrating the culinary traditions surrounding Finland's rich natural resources. Moilanen’s enthusiasm for this dish underlines a cultural appreciation for local ingredients, promoting homemade meals that reflect the flavors of Finnish cuisine.
